TAD 425 (430-0711) Remote Operation Faxback Doc. # 6162 You can control your answering machine from any touch-tone phone. You can also control it from a rotary dial phone, using a pocket tone dialer. The answering machine's factory-set security code is 111. You can begin remote operation using this code; however, we recommend that you set your own security code. This code lets you access your answering machine's main functions and prevents others from operating your answering machine. Follow these steps to begin all remote control operations: 1. Dial your phone number. The answering machine answers, and the outgoing announcement begins. 2. Press * during the outgoing announcement. The answering machine sounds a 2-second beep. 3. Carefully enter your 3-digit security code within 10 seconds of the beep. The answering machine sounds a command prompt, rewinds, and then plays back any new messages. 4. After message playback, the answering machine sounds a command prompt. Enter the desired command code. The answering machine performs each command after you enter the appropriate code. Note: If you enter an incorrect security code, the answering machine beeps for 2 seconds. Enter the correct code within 10 seconds. If you enter an incorrect code again, the answering machine beeps a second time. Enter the correct code within 10 seconds. If you enter an incorrect code a third time, the answering machine continues to play the outgoing announcement and records the incoming message. Command Prompt A command prompt consists of one long beep and two short beeps. This prompt indicates the completion of a remote control command and signals you to enter another remote control command. After the command prompt sounds, you have about 10 seconds to enter another remote control command. If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the answering machine hangs up and resets to answer calls. REMOTE FUNCTIONS After you access your answering machine by remote control, the answering machine automatically rewinds the tape to the beginning of the new message group (if you received messages) and plays the messages. After the messages play or if you received no messages, a command prompt sounds and you have about 10 seconds to enter any of the following remote control commands. A command prompt sounds after the completion of each command. Rewinding-Key 1 Press 1 to rewind to the beginning of the tape. Playing Back Messages-Key 2 Press 2 to play back the messages from the current position on the tape. Note: If you hang up while an incoming message plays, the answering machine continues to play back all messages, unless it detects a CPC signal, then resets to answer calls. If you call the answering machine while it plays the messages, you hear a busy signal. Fast-Forwarding the Tape-key 3 Press 3 to fast-forward to the end of the tape. Recording a Memo-Key 4 Press 4.
