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 another announce-
ment for the caller to hear when the
TAD answers a call. The announce-
ment can be up to 1 minute long.
Important Hints:
We recommend you write down
your announcement before
recording it. If you plan to record
callers’ messages, ask for the
caller’s name, phone number, and
message.
Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you can-
not 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 ON LINE indicator
flashes.
2. Release
OGM
and record your
announcement. Speak into the
TAD from about 12 inches away.
Note:
The outgoing message
must be at least 2 seconds long
for proper remote operation.
3. When you finish speaking, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD beeps once, the
announcement plays, then the ON
LINE indicator stops flashing and
the TAD beeps once more.
Note
: To change the outgoing an-
nouncement, you can repeat these
steps to record over the current one, or
delete the current one so the TAD
once again uses its built-in outgoing
announcement (see “Checking/Delet-
ing the Outgoing Announcement”).
Checking/Deleting the
Outgoing Announcement
You can press
OGM
at any time to play
the outgoing announcement. Adjust
VOLUME
on the side of the TAD to a
comfortable listening level.
To stop listening to the outgoing an-
nouncement before it ends, press
ON/
OFF
.
To delete your recorded outgoing an-
nouncement, press
PGM/DEL
while the
TAD is playing it. The TAD beeps twice
and is then set to use its built-in an-
nouncement.
