Note: If you pick up the phone just as
the TAD-277 answers, the TAD-277
might not stop recording the message.
If this happens, briefly hang up the
phone then pick it up again.
PLAYING MESSAGES
When you have messages, the mes-
sage indicator blinks. If you have four
messages or less, the light blinks once
for each message stored. (For exam-
ple, if you have two messages, the light
blinks twice followed by a 2-second
pause, then blinks twice more, and so
on.) If you have more than four mes-
sages, the light blinks continuously.
Note: The light also blinks continuous-
ly if the TAD-277 receives one or more
incoming messages after power is in-
terrupted (see “Troubleshooting” on
Page 13).
To play the messages, press
PLAY
.
The TAD-277 beeps once, rewinds
the tape, then plays the messages.
Notes:
• To pause playback, press
PLAY
.
To restart playback, press
PLAY
again.
If you do not restart playback
within 60 seconds, the tape fast-
forwards to the end of the last
incoming message, as though
playback was never started. This
helps prevent accidental erasure
of incoming messages.
If a call comes in while playback is
paused, the tape immediately
fast-forwards to the end of the last
message and answers the call.
After you play back all the messages,
the TAD-277 beeps twice, rewinds to
the beginning, and resets to answer
calls. New messages will be recorded
over the messages you have heard.
To save the messages, press
SAVE
before a new call is recorded. The
tape fast-forwards to the end of all the
messages and resets to answer calls.
To replay the messages, simply press
PLAY
again.
