TAD Operation
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call when:
²
the caller hangs up
²
the maximum message length is reached
²
there is more than 7 seconds of silence
If the TAD’s memory is full, the number of recorded messages and
F
(full) alternately appear, and the TAD answers after 10 rings and
announces “Memory is full.”
Notes:
²
The TAD can store a maximum of about 12 minutes of recorded
messages or 99 total messages.
²
Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to
signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD is designed to recog-
nize a CPC signal and releases the line. If the TAD records phone
company messages or dial tones, your local phone company prob-
ably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
There are two ways to screen your calls.
First, you can let the TAD answer them, then listen to the caller’s
message through the TAD’s speaker.
If you decide to answer the call, press
PHONE
on the handset or
pick up any phone on the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD
stops recording and resets to answer the next call.
If you do not want to take the call, simply let the TAD finish record-
ing the caller’s message.
