ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls, you must record the outgoing
message (OGM). This is what the caller
hears when the TAD answers a call.
Notes:
• The maximum outgoing message
length is 30 seconds.
• If memory is full and you attempt to
record an outgoing message, the
TAD announces, “Memory is full.”
1. Press and hold down
ANNOUNCE
.
The TAD beeps, and the display
begins counting down the time
from 30 seconds.
2. Speak in a normal voice about 8
inches away from the microphone
(located on the front of the TAD).
Ask for the caller’s name, phone
number, and message.
Important: To keep your home
secure, do not tell callers that you
are not home. Instead, say that you
cannot come to the phone right
now.
3. When you finish recording, release
ANNOUNCE
. The TAD beeps, auto-
matically repeats the outgoing
message so you can verify it, then
beeps again.
4. Adjust
VOLUME
on the right side of
the TAD to the desired listening
level.
To play the outgoing message at any
time (except while recording or playing
messages), press and release
AN-
NOUNCE
. If no outgoing message is re-
corded, the TAD says, “No
announcement.”
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ANSWER
.
• If an outgoing message is
recorded, the TAD announces,
“Answer on,” and the indicator
lights.
