RECORDING
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Recording the Outgoing
Announcement
The TAD has a built-in outgoing an-
nouncement that says “
Please leave
your message after the tone
.”
You can record a different announce-
ment (up to 1 minute long) for the call-
er to hear when the TAD answers a
call.
Important Hints
:
We recommend you write down
your announcement before
recording it. If you plan to record
caller’s messages, ask for the
caller’s name, phone number, and
message.
For your security, do not tell call-
ers that you are not home.
Instead, say that you cannot come
to the phone right now.
Follow these steps to record your out-
going announcement.
1. Press and hold
OGM
(outgoing
message) until the TAD beeps
and the ANSWER indicator
flashes.
2. Release
OGM
and record your
announcement (at least 2 sec-
onds, but no more than 1 minute
long). Speak toward the front of
the TAD-1006 from about 12
inches away.
Note
: Be sure the outgoing mes-
sage you record is at least 2 sec-
onds long, otherwise the TAD
might not operate properly.
3. When you finish speaking, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD beeps once, the
announcement plays, then the
ANSWER indicator stops flashing
and the TAD beeps once more.
Notes
:
If you do not press
ON/OFF
, the
TAD automatically stops recording
after 1 minute then plays the
announcement you recorded.
To change the outgoing
announcement, you can repeat
these steps to record over the cur-
rent one, or delete the current one
so the TAD uses its built-in outgo-
ing announcement (see “Check-
ing/Deleting the Outgoing An-
nouncement”).
