TAD OPERATION
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls, you must record an outgoing mes-
sage (OGM). This is what the caller
hears when the TAD answers a call. The
outgoing message can be up to 60 sec-
onds long.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
Note: If memory is full (
FL
appears)
when you attempt to record an outgoing
message, the TAD announces, “Memory
is full.”
1. Hold down
ANNOUNCE
. The TAD
beeps, and the display begins
counting down from 60 seconds.
2. Speak your message in a normal
voice about 8 inches from the front
of the TAD.
3. When you finish, release
AN-
NOUNCE
. The TAD plays back the
outgoing message so you can check
it.
To hear your outgoing message at any
time, press
ANNOUNCE
. To change your
outgoing message, repeat Steps 1–3.
