TAD Operation
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before the TAD (Telephone Answering De-
vice) can answer calls and record messages,
you must record an outgoing message
(OGM). The TAD lets you record two sepa-
rate messages, and it operates differently
based on which message you select.
OGM 1 — After playing your outgoing mes-
sage, the TAD records the caller's message.
OGM 2 (announce-only) — The TAD plays
your outgoing message, but does not record
a message.
Notes:
• The maximum length for each outgoing
message is 32 seconds. As you record,
the message counter shows the record-
ing time.
• If you plan to use the TAD's announce-
only feature, OGM 2 should clearly state
that the caller cannot leave a message.
• OGM1 or OGM2 stops flashing to indicate
OGM1 or OGM2 is recorded.
Follow these steps to record an outgoing
message.
1. To record the OGM 1 (or OGM 2) mes-
sage, hold down OGM1 (or OGM2 ) until
the TAD beeps and the timer starts
counting.
OGM1 RECORDING (or OGM2
RECORDING ) appears.
Note: As soon as the TAD beeps,
release
OGM1 (or OGM2 ) quickly. Other-
wise, the TAD records a “pop” sound at
the beginning of the outgoing message.
2. Speak your message from about 8
inches from the front of the TAD.
3. When you finish, press STOP . The TAD
beeps and plays back the outgoing mes-
sage.
CHECKING THE OUTGOING
MESSAGES
To check an outgoing message, press OGM1
or OGM2 . OGM1 PLAYING or OGM2 PLAY-
ING appears and the message plays.
If no outgoing message is recorded when
you press
OGM1 or OGM2 , the TAD announc-
es “You have no announcement one” (or
“two”) and sounds four beeps.
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
To turn on the TAD and set it to answer calls
and record messages, press
ANSWER once.
The TAD says “Answer on”, and beeps once.
ANS ON appears, the TAD plays the outgo-
ing message and shows OGM1 PLAYING
briefly. The HOLD/ANSWER indicator lights
to show that the TAD is ready to answer calls
using the OGM 1 message and the record
caller’s message.
