TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the
operation of the Boat Remote with your telephone answering device,
i.e. answering machine, in a way that retains the full flexibility of each
system. This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to
your Boat Remote, for obtaining a Status Report, while your tele-
phone answering device is set to receive outside calls. Programming
Boat Remote for use with a telephone answering device (TAD) is
always used in conjunction with Rings Until Answer.
*The TAD feature only applies to answering devices connected to the
same telephone line as the Boat Remote.
Program TAD
You can turn TAD on or off, the default is off. While in the Set System
menu, turn on or off the TAD feature by pressing the

Using the TAD Feature
1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled. (The default setting is
disabled, so you must enable it first.)

device (TAD) uses to answer the telephone. (Most answering
devices require 4 rings; others are selectable.)
3. Program rings until answer to a greater number than the
number of rings set on your answering machine.
