TAD Operation
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call when:
²
the caller hangs up
²
the maximum message length is reached
²
there are more than 5 seconds of silence
If the TAD’s memory is full,
F
(full) and the number of recorded
messages alternately appear, and it answers after 10 rings and an-
nounces “Memory is full.”
Notes:
²
The maximum total of messages the TAD can store is 22 min-
utes.
²
Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to
signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD is designed to recog-
nize a CPC signal and releases the line. If the TAD records phone
company messages or dial tones, your local phone company prob-
ably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer them, then listen to the caller’s
message through the TAD’s speaker.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same
phone line as the TAD or press
SPEAKER
on the SP-809’s base.
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call.
If you do not want to take the call, simply let the TAD finish record-
ing the caller’s message.
Note: If you answer the phone just as the TAD answers, the TAD
might not stop playing the outgoing message. If this happens,
press
STOP
