TAD Operation
n TAD Operation
This section describes TAD operation at the base, but you can also
operate the TAD using the handset or another phone while you’re
away from home (see “Using Remote Commands” on Page 32).
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer
calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD
announces “The machine is
on” and beeps twice, then the
number of recorded messag-
es appears.
To set the TAD to not answer
calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD
announces “The machine is
off” and beeps twice.
Note: Even when the TAD is set to not answer calls, it answers af-
ter 10 rings. This is handy for emergency or unexpected calls.
INCOMING MESSAGE RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls, it plays the selected an-
nouncement (see “Announcement Options” on Page 16), then
beeps. The caller can then record a message up to 3 minutes long.
When the TAD is set to not answer calls, a caller can still leave a
message by pressing
#
when the TAD answers. When the TAD is
set to answer calls, pressing # stops the announcement and lets
the caller leave a message.
