PLAYING MESSAGES
Your TAD divides your incoming mes-
sages into two groups — old messag-
es you have already heard and new
messages you have not yet heard. The
new message becomes part of the old
message group after you listen to them
then receive one or more new messag-
es.
After you receive at least one new
message, the ANSWER indicator
slowly flashes.
To listen to new messages using the
base, press
PLAY/FAST-F
. To listen to
new messages using the handset,
press
REMOTE
then
2
.
To fast-forward, rewind, or stop mes-
sage playback or play old messages,
see “TAD Function Chart” on Page 29.
Notes:
• The TAD beeps while the tape is
rewinding.
• At the end of each message, the
TAD beeps once.
• After the TAD plays back all mes-
sages, the TAD sounds a
com-
mand prompt
(beeps three times).
The ANSWER indicator stays on,
and the TAD is ready to receive
the next call. Then, if the TAD
receives one or more new mes-
sages, the messages you listened
to become part of the old mes-
sage group.
• You cannot record over a new
message.
• The TAD assumes that all new
messages have been heard after
the last message plays, even if
you skipped some of the mes-
sages.
• If a caller hangs up without leav-
ing a message (or without using
the maximum time), and your tele-
phone service does not send out
CPC signals, the TAD records
whatever sounds are transmitted
over the phone line until the VOX
circuit stops recording. The
ANSWER indicator might slowly
flash, although you do not hear a
message.
• If you eject the microcassette
tape, new messages are no
longer a separate group.
