RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
The TAD can record an incoming mes-
sage of up to 60 seconds. If a recording
reaches 55 seconds, the TAD beeps
once to notify the caller that time will be
up soon. If the recording reaches 60
seconds, the TAD beeps three times,
then disconnects.
The TAD automatically stops and hangs
up if the caller is silent more than 8 sec-
onds.
SCREENING CALLS
Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave
messages. If you want to speak to a call-
er, pick up any phone on the same line
and begin speaking. The TAD detects
when you pick up the phone and auto-
matically resets to answer the next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone exactly
when the TAD answers, you might need
to press
STOP to stop the TAD.
PLAYING MESSAGES
If there are new messages, the display
flashes until those messages have been
played. The display shows the total
number of messages.
To play all the messages, press PLAY .
Or, to play only the new messages, hold
down
PLAY . The TAD announces the
number of messages.
Note: If you hold down PLAY when there
are no new messages stored, the TAD
says, “No message.”
Before playing each message, the TAD
announces the message number and
the day and time it was recorded. After
all messages play, the TAD says, “End
of message(s)” and saves all the mes-
sages.
