TAD OPERATION
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
The TAD-1029 is ready to answer and
record calls with the prerecorded outgo-
ing message as soon as you connect it
to AC power. To record your own outgo-
ing message, see “Recording an Outgo-
ing Message.”
To turn off the TAD so it does not an-
swer calls, press
ANSWER on the base,
or press REMOTE , CHANGE ( ) then AN-
SWER ( ) on the handset. The TAD an-
nounces “Answer off” and the message
counter display clears.
To turn on the TAD, press ANSWER on
the base, or press REMOTE , CHANGE
then ANSWER on the handset. The TAD
announces “Answer on” and the mes-
sage counter shows the number of re-
corded messages.
USING THE MAILBOXES
The TAD-1029 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 by pressing then 1
after the outgoing message, or for mail-
box 2 by pressing then 2.
Be sure your outgoing message tells the
caller how to record a message for the
desired mailbox.
RECORDING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD-1029’s prerecorded outgoing
message says, “Hello, please leave a
message after the tone.” You can also
record your own outgoing message up
to 60 seconds long for the caller to hear
when the TAD answers a call.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
Notes:
• If you set the TAD to announce-only,
be sure to state that the caller can-
not leave a message.
• If the TAD’s memory is full ( FL flash-
es) you must delete some messag-
es before you can record a new
outgoing message.
