SETTING THE TAD TO
RECORD MESSAGES
For a Single User
After the TAD answers a call, the out-
going announcement plays and the
TAD sounds a beep. Then the caller
can leave a message in the general
message box. After the call is over (or
the set message length elapses), the
TAD beeps, stops recording, adds the
date/time stamp, and resets to answer
the next call.
Notes:
Many local phone companies use
calling party control (CPC) to sig-
nal that the caller has hung up.
Your TAD can recognize a CPC
signal and release the line. If the
TAD records phone company
messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does
not use CPC.
When the caller hangs up, the
maximum message length is
reached, or there are more than 7
seconds of silence, the TAD
hangs up and resets to answer
the next call.
• If the TAD reaches 100 percent
full while a caller is leaving a mes-
sage, the TAD plays the memory
full announcement and hangs up.
