USING THE MAILBOXES
The TAD-732 has a general message
center and two user mailboxes. It is pre-
set to record messages in the message
center, but a caller can record a mes-
sage for mailbox 1 by pressing then 1,
or for mailbox 2 by pressing then 2 af-
ter the outgoing message plays over
within 6 seconds. If the caller presses
then 1 or 2 after the outgoing message
plays over for more than 6 seconds, the
TAD-732 records message into both
message center and the selected mail-
box.
Be sure your outgoing message tells the
caller how to record a message for the
desired mailbox.
RECORDING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD-732’s prerecorded outgoing
message says, “Hello, please leave a
message after the tone.” You can also
record your own outgoing message up
to 60 seconds long for the caller to hear
when the TAD answers a call.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
Notes:
• If you set the TAD to announce-only,
be sure to state that the caller can-
not leave a message.
