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”).
