Remote Operation

While you are away from your home or of-
fice, you can use a touch-tone phone or a
pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer
to enter your remote operation security code
and do any of the following:

• set the TAD to answer calls

• listen to your messages

• record a new OGM

• record a memo

• delete individual or all messages

• change the security code

• turn on the room monitor

CHANGING THE REMOTE 
OPERATION SECURITY 
CODE

To use your TAD from a remote telephone,
you must first enter a 3-digit remote opera-
tion security code. The security code for your
TAD is preset to 500. Use the preset code, or
follow these steps to change it.

Note: Steps 2 and 3 require you to enter
your digit selection within 8 seconds. Other-
wise, the TAD beeps once and exits setup.
Start again at Step 1 if this happens. 

1. Hold down 

CODE/STOP

. The display

shows the code’s first digit and the TAD
announces, “first digit.”

2. Press 

SKIP

 or 

REPEAT

 to select the

desired digit. 

3. Press 

CODE/STOP

 to store the selected

digit. The second digit appears and the
TAD announces, “second digit”.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set the second

and third digits of the security code.

5. After you press 

CODE/STOP

 to store the

third digit, TAD announces your security
code by saying, “Code is ---”. 

To check your security code, press 

CODE/

STOP

.

OPERATING THE TAD FROM 
A REMOTE LOCATION

1. Dial your phone number. Even if the

TAD is not set to answer calls, it will
answer after about 10 rings.

2. After the outgoing message plays and

the TAD beeps, enter your remote oper-
ation security code.

Note: If you pause for 8 seconds
between digits, the TAD hangs up.

3. Enter the remote command (see

“Remote Commands” on Page 12).

4. When you finish, press
