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 7 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 announces “Memory is full.”
Notes:
²
The maximum total of all stored messages is 12 minutes or 99 messages.
²
Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD
is designed to recognize a CPC signal and releases the line. If the TAD records phone company messages or
dial tones, your local phone company probably does not use CPC.
