The TAD stops recording up and resets
to answer the next call when:
• the caller hangs up
• the maximum message length is
reached
• the TAD detects a busy signal or
more than 7 seconds of silence
• you pick up the TAD-797’s handset
or any phone on the same phone
line
Note: When the TAD’s message memo-
ry is full,
FL appears on the display.
RECORDING A MEMO
A memo is a message you can record at
the TAD for yourself or others in your
home or office. The TAD-797 stores
memos as incoming messages (see
“Playing Messages”).
To record a memo, hold down MEM on
the base until the TAD beeps and ––
appears in the message counter win-
dow, then speak your message (up to
four minutes long). When you finish the
memo, press
STOP .
Note: The TAD-797 cannot record a
memo less than two seconds long.
RECORDING A
CONVERSATION
The TAD-797 lets you record both sides
of a telephone conversation.
Note: It is illegal in some areas to record
a conversation without the consent of all
parties to the conversation, including the
phone company. Check the laws in your
area before you use the two-way record-
ing feature.
To start recording a phone conversation,
hold down
MEM on the base until the
TAD beeps and –– appears. As it
records the conversation, the TAD
beeps every 15 seconds to let the caller
know that the conversation is being re-
corded. To stop recording, press
STOP .
The TAD-797 stores a recorded conver-
sation as a message (see “Playing Mes-
sages” on Page 30).
Note: The TAD-797 cannot record a
conversation less than two seconds
long.
PLAYING MESSAGES
After the TAD-797 has recorded a mes-
sage, its message counter shows the to-
tal number of messages stored. If you
have new messages, the number flash-
es.
