BASIC OPERATION
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
The ANSWER indicator lights to indicate
which line the TAD is set to answer on;
or announce only. A steady light indi-
cates the line is set to answer on. A
flashing light indicates the line is set to
announce only.
To set the TAD to answer calls after you
have recorded OGM 1 and OGM 2, or
only OGM 1, press
ANSWER
on the se-
lected line. The TAD announces “Line x
(line number) is on.”

the TAD beeps and plays the outgoing
message. The ANSWER indicator lights
to show that the TAD is ready to answer
calls and record caller’s messages.
To set the TAD to not answer calls,
press
ANSWER
on the selected line
again. The TAD announces “Line x (line
number) is off.” The ANSWER indicator
turns off.
To set the TAD to play an outgoing mes-
sage but not let callers leave a mes-
sage, press

line again.

the TAD says “Line x (line number) is

ANSWER indicator flashes.
INCOMING MESSAGE
RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls us-
ing OGM 1, it plays the outgoing mes-
sage, then beeps. The caller can then
record a message up to 60 seconds
long.
When a recording reaches 55 seconds,
the TAD beeps to notify the caller that
time will soon be up. At 60 seconds, the
TAD sounds a long beep and four short
beeps, says “Thank you for your call,”
and hangs up.
The TAD stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
• the caller hangs up
• the maximum message length is
reached
• there are more than 7 seconds of si-
lence
• you pick up any phone on the same
line as the TAD
If the TAD’s memory is full,
FL
and the
number of recorded messages alter-
nately appear. It answers calls after 3
rings and plays the announce-only mes-
sage (OGM 2). If no OGM 2 is recorded,
the TAD says “Memory is full, thank you
for your call.” and beeps once. Then the
TAD beeps once again after 8 seconds.
