BASIC OPERATION
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ANSWER
.
If an outgoing message is recorded,
the TAD announces, “Answer on,”
and the indicator lights.
If no outgoing message is recorded,
the TAD says, “Answer off, no
announcement.” (See “Recording
the Outgoing Message.”)
To have the TAD not answer calls, press
ANSWER
again. The TAD says “Answer
off,” and the indicator turns off.
RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
The maximum incoming message re-
cording length is 60 seconds. If a re-
cording reaches 55 seconds, the TAD
beeps once to notify the caller that time
will be up soon. If a recording reaches
60 seconds, the TAD beeps three times,
then disconnects.
The TAD automatically stops and hangs
up if the caller is silent for over 8 sec-
onds.
SCREENING CALLS
Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave
messages. If you want to speak to a
caller, pick up any phone on the same
line and begin speaking. The TAD de-
tects when you pick up the phone and
automatically resets to answer the next
call.
Note
: If you pick up the phone exactly
when the TAD answers, you might need
to press
STOP
to stop the TAD.
If you do not want to take the call, do not
pick up the handset, and let the TAD fin-
ish recording the caller’s message.
