TAD OPERATION
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before the TAD-704 can answer calls
and record messages, you must record
an outgoing message (OGM). The TAD-
704 lets you record two separate mes-
sages, and it operates differently based
on which message you select.
OGM 1 — After playing your outgoing
message, 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 out-
going message is 32 seconds. As
you record, the message counter
shows the recording 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 on the display 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)
message, hold down OGM1 (or
OGM2 ) until the TAD beeps and the
timer starts counting. OGM1
RECORDING (or OGM2 RECORD-
ING ) appears.
Note: As soon as the TAD beeps,
release
OGM1 (or OGM2 ) quickly.
Otherwise, the TAD records a “pop”
sound at the beginning of the outgo-
ing message.
2. Speak your message from about 8
inches in front of the TAD.
3. When you finish, press STOP . The
TAD beeps and plays back the out-
going message.
CHECKING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
To check an outgoing message, press
its button (OGM1 or OGM2).
OGM1
PLAYING (or OGM2 PLAYING ) ap-
pears and the message plays.
If no outgoing message is recorded
when you press
OGM1 or OGM2 , the
TAD announces “You have no an-
nouncement 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
AN-
SWER once. The TAD says “Answer on”,
and beeps once. ANS ON appears, then
the TAD plays the outgoing message
and shows
OGM1 PLAYING briefly.
