ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls and record messages, you must
record the outgoing message (OGM) the
caller hears when the TAD answers a
call. The TAD-1026 lets you record two
separate messages and it operates dif-
ferently based on which message you
select (see “Setting the TAD to Answer
Calls” on Page 20).
• OGM1 plays the message you re-
corded, and lets the caller leave a
message of up to 60 seconds.
• OGM2 (announcement only) plays
the message you recorded, but
hangs up without letting the caller
leave a message. This is useful for
announcing information about an
upcoming event. Be sure the an-
nouncement clearly states that the
caller cannot leave a message. If
the TAD-1026’s memory becomes
full, it will automatically switch from
OGM1 to OGM2 and play OGM2 for
any new calls.
Note: The maximum length for each out-
going message is 32 seconds. As you
record, the display counts down the re-
maining recording time.
1. To record an OGM1 message, hold
down OGM1 until the TAD beeps
and A1 (Announcement 1) appears.
To record an OGM2 message, hold
down
OGM2 until the TAD beeps
and A2 (Announcement 2) appears.
2. Speak in a normal voice about 8
inches away from the microphone
(located on the front of the TAD). If
you are recording the OGM1 mes-
sage, ask for the caller’s name,
phone number, and message.
