• If there is a power failure, PF
flashes on the digital display when
power returns. Reset the day and
time.
SELECTING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD has two prerecorded messag-
es. One asks the caller to leave a mes-
sage (“Hello, no one is available to take
your call. Please leave your message af-
ter the tone.”), the other is an announce-
ment and does not let the caller leave a
message (“Hello, no one is available to
take your call.”). You can also record
your own message (see “Recording an
Outgoing Message”). Use the
REC TIME
switch to select which message you
want. When you set it to either 1 or 4
(minutes), the normal message is se-
lected and the TAD records each incom-
ing message for 1 or 4 minutes. When
you set it to
ANS. ONLY , the announce-
only message is selected.
RECORDING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
You can record your own message up to
1 minute long for the caller to hear when
the TAD answers a call. You can use ei-
ther the base or the handset to record
the message.
Hints:
• Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
• When you record an announce-
ment-only message, be sure that
the caller understands he or she
cannot leave a message.
Follow these steps to record your outgo-
ing message.
1. Hold down OGM REC on the base
for about 2 seconds until a beep
sounds. The digital display begins
counting up by second (
00 - 01 -
02 - - - -). Then speak your outgoing
message into the base.
