USING THE MAILBOXES
The TAD-733 has a general message
center and two user mailboxes. It is pre-
set to record messages in the message
center, but a caller can record a mes-
sage for mailbox 1 or 2 by pressing
#
then the desired mailbox number within
6 seconds. If the caller presses
# then 1
or 2 after the outgoing message plays
for more than 6 seconds, the TAD-733
records the message into both the mes-
sage center and the selected mailbox.
Be sure your outgoing message tells the
caller how to record a message for the
desired mailbox.
RECORDING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD-733’s lets you record two sep-
arate messages of up to 60 seconds
each, and it operates differently based
on which mode you select.
• Answer-On — The TAD 733’s prere-
corded outgoing message says,
“Hello, please leave a message af-
ter the tone.” You can also record
your own outgoing message for the
caller to hear when the TAD an-
swers a call.
• Announce-Only — The TAD plays
your outgoing message, but does
not record a message.
If you set the TAD to announce-only,
be sure to state that the caller can-
not leave a message.
