OPERATION
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ON/OFF/STOP
to turn on
the TAD. The MESSAGE indicator lights.
When the TAD answers a call, it plays the outgoing message,
then beeps and begins recording.
The caller can leave a message for 1 minute or up to 5 minutes
in length (see “Setting the Incoming Message Length” on
Page 13). After the caller hangs up or is silent for more than 7
seconds, or the maximum message length is reached, the TAD
hangs up and resets to answer the next call. The MESSAGE in-
dicator flashes to indicate an incoming message has been re-
corded.
When the TAD is answering a call or recording a message, if
any phone on the same line is picked up or the TAD detects a
Calling Party Control (CPC) signal, it stops playing the outgoing
message or recording an incoming message and resets to an-
swer another call.
Notes:
• If the TAD’s memory is full, it answers calls after 10 rings,
waits for a remote code, then hangs up. The TAD cannot
record additional messages until you delete some of the
old messages (see “Deleting Messages” on Page 22).
