Checking/Deleting the
Announcement-Only
Message
You can press
OGM
while the ANN in-
dicator is turned on to play the an-
nouncement-only message. Adjust
VOLUME
on the side of the TAD to a
comfortable listening level.
To stop listening to the message be-
fore it ends, press
ON/OFF
.
To delete your recorded announce-
ment-only message, press
PGM/DEL
while the TAD is playing it.
Note
: If you delete your recorded an-
nouncement-only message (or never
initially record an announcement), to
use the announcement-only feature,
you must first record an announce-
ment-only message. Otherwise, the
TAD will not answer calls.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen your calls, let the TAD an-
swer all calls for you, and listen to the
caller’s message through the TAD’s
speaker. If you decide to answer the
call, pick up any phone connected to
the same phone line as the TAD. The
TAD stops recording and resets to an-
swer the next call.
Note:
If you pick up the phone just as
the TAD answers, the TAD might not
stop recording. If this happens, hang
up the phone momentarily, then pick it
up again.
RECORDING A 2-WAY
PHONE CONVERSATION
You can record both sides of a conver-
sation on any phone connected to the
same phone line as the TAD.
At any time during the conversation,
press and hold
2-WAY
for about 2 sec-
onds. The ON LINE indicator flashes,
the TAD beeps once, and recording
begins.
To stop recording, press
ON/OFF
or
hang up the phone. The ON LINE indi-
cator stops flashing, the TAD beeps
once, and recording stops.
Note:
It is illegal in some states to
record a conversation without the con-
sent of all parties to the conversation,
including the phone company. Check
the laws in your area before using the
two-way record feature.
To play back a recorded conversation,
see “Playing 2-Way Conversations.”
