RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
The maximum length for each incoming
message is 60 seconds. If a recording
reaches 55 seconds, the TAD beeps
once to notify the caller that time will be
up soon. If a recording reaches 60 sec-
onds, the TAD beeps three times, then
disconnects.
The TAD stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
the caller hangs up
there are more than 8 seconds of
silence
you pick up any phone on the same
line as the TAD
Note: To bypass the outgoing message,
tell the caller to press when the mes-
sage begins. The TAD beeps once, and
begins recording.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer,
then listen to the caller’s message
through the TAD’s speaker.
If you do not want to take the call, simply
let the TAD finish recording the caller’s
message.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up
this phone or any phone on 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 outgoing message. If
this happens, press
STOP
.
PLAYING MESSAGES
The message counter shows the total
number of messages, both old (ones
you have listened to and saved) and
new.
If there are new messages, the mes-
sage counter flashes until all the new
messages have been played.
To play only new messages, hold down
PLAY
for about 2 seconds. If there are
no new messages stored, the TAD says,
“No new message.” If there are no mes-
sages stored, the TAD says, “No mes-
sage.”
To play all messages, press
PLAY
. The
TAD announces the number of messag-
es recorded. Before playing each mes-
sage, the TAD tells you the message’s
number and the day and time the mes-
sage was recorded.
