SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer,
then listen to the caller’s message
through the TAD’s speaker. To adjust
the TAD’s volume, slide
VOLUME
to-
ward
+
or
–
.
If you do not want to take the call, sim-
ply let the TAD finish recording the call-
er’s message.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up
any phone on the same phone line as
the TAD. The TAD stops recording and
resets 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
STOP
.
USING CALL
BREAKTHROUGH
If you screen your calls but want to
know when calls come in from certain
people, give them your call break-
through (CBT) code (preset to 648).
When a caller enters the CBT code dur-
ing the outgoing message, the TAD
alerts you with a series of loud beeps for
35 seconds. To answer the call, pick up
the handset. If you do not answer, the
caller can leave a message after the
outgoing message plays.
Changing the CBT Code
The CBT code is preset to 648, but you
can change it by following these steps.
Note: If you do not complete each step
within 8 seconds, the TAD sounds four
beeps and exits setup. Start again from
Step 1.
