RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before the TAD can answer calls and
record messages, you must record an
outgoing message. Your outgoing mes-
sage can be up to 60 seconds long.
Hint
: Do not tell callers you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
Follow these steps to record your outgo-
ing message or to change your current
message.
1. Hold down
OGM
(outgoing mes-
sage) until the TAD beeps.
Note:
If you try to record an outgo-
ing message when the TAD’s mem-
ory is full, the PLAY/SKIP indicator
flashes rapidly and the TAD
announces, “Memory is full.” You
must delete some messages to
make room in memory (see “Delet-
ing Messages” on Page 11).
2. Speak your message from about 8
inches in front of the TAD.
3. When you finish, press
STOP
. The
TAD beeps and plays back the out-
going message.
To check your outgoing message at any
time, press
OGM
. If no outgoing mes-
sage is recorded, the TAD-779 says,
“No announcement.”
