RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD-1027 to an-
swer calls, you must record the outgoing
message (OGM) the caller hears when
the TAD answers a call. Your outgoing
message can be up to 60 seconds long.
1. Hold down
OGM/REPEAT
until the
TAD-1027 beeps.
Note:
If memory is full, the PLAY/
SKIP indicator flashes, the TAD-
1027 announces, “Memory is full,”
and you cannot record the outgoing
message. Delete old messages to
make room in memory (see “Delet-
ing Messages” on Page 11).
2. Speak in a normal voice about 8
inches away from the microphone
on the front of the TAD.
Ask for the caller’s name, phone
number, and message.
Im

ortant

are not home. Instead, say that you
cannot come to the phone right now.
3. The TAD-1027 automatically stops
recording after 60 seconds, or you
can press
ANSWER/STOP/DELETE
when you finish the message. The
TAD-1027 beeps and automatically
plays back the outgoing message.
To play the outgoing message at any
time, press
OGM/REPEAT

message is recorded, the TAD-1027
says, “No announcement.”
