TAD Operation
This section describes TAD operation at the base, but you can also
operate the TAD using the handset or another phone while you’re
away from home (see “Using Remote Commands” on Page 39).
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer
calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD
announces “The machine is
on” and the number of record-
ed messages appears.
To set the TAD to not answer
calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD
announces “The machine is
off” and beeps twice.
INCOMING MESSAGE RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls using Announcement A or B,
it plays the announcement, then beeps. The caller can then record
a message up to 3 minutes long.
The TAD is preset to record messages in mailbox 1, but callers
can record to a specific mailbox by pressing its number (1–4) after
the outgoing message.
Note: When the TAD is set to announce-only, a caller can still
leave a message by pressing
#
then the number for the desired
mailbox. This is handy for emergency or unexpected calls.
