USING THE
ANNOUNCE-ONLY
FEATURE
Your TAD-724’s announce-only fea-
ture lets you set the TAD to play a mes-
sage for the caller, then automatically
hang up without letting the caller leave
a message.
To use announce-only, slide the
AN-
NOUNCE SELECT
to
AO
and the dis-
play shows AO. When there is a call,
the TAD will play OGM 3 and then au-
tomatically hang up.
To turn off announce-only, slide the
AN-
NOUNCE SELECT
to either
1
or
2
.
Notes:
When the TAD is set for
announce-only, you cannot set it
to record calls using the remote
commands (see “Remote Com-
mands” on Page 23). Use remote
commands to perform all other
operations.
If you delete your recorded
announce-only (AO) message or
never initially record the message,
you cannot use this feature. You
must first record an announce-
only message to use the
announce-only feature.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen your calls, let the TAD an-
swer and listen to the caller’s mes-
sage 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 answer the
next call.
Note:
If you pick up the phone just as
the TAD answers, the TAD might not
stop playing the OGM. If this happens,
press
STOP
to disconnect the TAD.
RECORDING A MEMO
A memo is a message (up to 3 minutes
long) that you record by speaking di-
rectly into the TAD without calling in on
the phone line.
Follow these steps to record a memo:
1. Press
MEMO
. The TAD beeps and
the display timer begins. Begin
recording your memo.
2. When you finish speaking, press
CODE/STOP
.
To play back a memo see “Playing In-
coming Messages” on Page 20.
