If the TAD’s memory is full (

FL

 appears),

the TAD answers the call after 8 rings
and plays the announcement-only mes-
sage (OGM2).

SCREENING CALLS

To screen calls, let the TAD answer
them, then listen to the caller’s message
through the TAD’s speaker. If you de-
cide to answer the call, pick up any
phone on the same phone line as the
TAD. The TAD stops recording and re-
sets to answer the next call.

Note: If you pick up the phone just as the
TAD answers, the TAD might not stop
playing the outgoing message. If this
happens, press   (on the keypad) or

STOP/T-SET

If you do not want to take the call, do not
pick up the phone, and let the TAD finish
recording the caller’s message. 

To adjust the volume, slide 

VOLUME

 on

the side of the TAD.

PLAYING MESSAGES

The display shows the total number of
messages. If there are new messages,
the power indicator also flashes until all
new messages have been played. 

To play all the messages (old and new),
press 

PLAY

. The TAD announces the

number of messages recorded, each
message number and the day and time
the message was recorded, and then
plays the message.
