caller’s message (see “Setting the
Record Time” on Page 21), it plays the
outgoing message and shows the num-
ber of recorded messages. If the TAD is

“Answer off” and the message counter
turns off.
SCREENING CALLS
You can let the TAD answer calls for you
while you listen to the caller’s message
through the base’s speaker. If you de-
cide to answer the call, press
SPEAKER

press
TALK to answer if the handset is
off the base, or if the handset is on the
base, lift it. You can also pick up any
phone on the same line. The TAD stops
recording and resets to answer the next
call.
RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
After the TAD answers a call, it plays the
outgoing message, beeps, and records
the caller’s message.
Each incoming message can be up to 1
or 4 minutes long, depending on how
you set
REC TIME (see “Setting the
Record Time” on Page 21). The TAD-
725’s maximum recording capacity is 14
minutes.
The TAD stops recording 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-725’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 and
the TAD announces “No remaining time”
when you try to operate it.
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-725 stores
memos as incoming messages (see
“Playing Messages” on Page 23).
