RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
The maximum length for each incoming
message is 60 seconds. If a recording
reaches 55 seconds, the TAD beeps
once to notify the caller that time will be
up soon. If a recording reaches 60 sec-
onds, the TAD beeps three times, then
disconnects.
Note: The TAD automatically hangs up
if the caller is silent for over 8 seconds.
SCREENING CALLS
Your TAD’s speaker lets you listen as
callers leave messages. If you want to
speak to a caller, pick up any phone on
the same line and begin speaking. The
TAD detects when you pick up the
phone and automatically resets to an-
swer the next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone exactly
when the TAD answers, you might need
to hang up and pick up the phone again,
or press
PLAY/STOP to stop the TAD.
If you do not want to take the call, do not
pick up the handset, and let the TAD fin-
ish recording the caller’s message.
PLAYING MESSAGES
If there are new messages (messages
that have not been listened to), the indi-
cator flashes and the display shows the
total number of messages.
To play all the messages, press PLAY/
STOP . Or, to play only the new messag-
es, press and hold down PLAY/
STOP .The TAD announces the number
of messages it will play.
Note: If you press and hold down PLAY/
STOP and there are no new messages
stored, the TAD says, “No new messag-
es.”
