Message Capacity Full Detection
When the message capacity is full, the
unit will answer with 3 beeps on the 10th
ring , pause 10 seconds, and then
automatically disconnect the telephone
line.
Voice Activated Recording (VOX)
Your TAD2012 records messages for up
to 45 seconds, as long as the caller speaks.
To avoid unnecessary pauses due to hang-
ups and to save message capacity, your
unit will automatically stop recording
after 7 seconds of silence.
To Turn Unit Off
If you do not want your system to answer
calls, press the ON/OFF button. The
message indicator will turn off.
Call Interrupt
If the unit answers before you do, you can
turn it off by picking up any extension
phone. If the unit does not stop answering,
press the hook switch of your telephone
for about one second and release. You
may also press the STOP/SAVE button.
Call Screening
To listen to an incoming call without
picking up the phone, let your unit answer
the phone when it rings. If you don't want
to talk to the caller, just let your unit take
a message, and adjust the volume control
on the side of the unit to listen. If you
don't want to listen to the caller's message,
just lower the volume.
Note:
Callers will be unaware that you are
screening their calls. If you want to talk
to the caller, pick up the phone and talk.
Ring Select
You can select the number of
rings in which a call will be
answered. Set the Ring
Select switch (on the back of
unit ) to 2 or 4 rings, or Toll
Saver (TS).

Power Failure Protection/Battery
Back Up
If an AC power failure occurs, or the
power plug comes out of the wall, your
unit will shut down until the power is
restored.
When the power is restored, any messages
recorded before the power failure will be
saved IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED A 9
VOLT BATTERY. The message indicator
LED will flash to indicate the number of
new messages received.
If your unit is not operating properly
when the power is restored, proceed with
a unit reset.
To Reset Unit
1. Unplug the AC adaptor from the
power outlet.
2. Remove the 9 volt battery. Replace
with a fresh 9 volt battery (see page 6).
3. Plug the AC adaptor back into the
power outlet.
4. Record a new outgoing greeting
(see page 7).
