SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ON/
OFF
. The display turns on and the TAD
beeps twice.
Notes:
• You can use a remote phone to set the
TAD to answer calls (see “Remote Com-
mands” on Page 12).
• To set the TAD to not answer calls, turn
it off by pressing
ON/OFF
.
When the TAD answers a call, the outgoing
message plays, then the TAD beeps and be-
gins recording.
The caller can leave a message of up to 5
minutes in length depending on the
INCOM-
ING
setting (see “Setting the Incoming Mes-
sage Length” on Page 8). After the caller
hangs up or is silent for more than 7 sec-
onds, or the maximum message length is
reached, the TAD hangs up and resets to an-
swer the next call. The MESSAGE indicator
flashes to indicate an incoming message has
been recorded.
Notes:
• The MESSAGE indicator flashes rapidly
when the memory is full.
• If the TAD answers a call when its mem-
ory is full, it announces “Memory is full”
and beeps twice, waits 10 seconds for
any remote operation commands, then
hangs up (see “Remote Commands” on
Page 12). The TAD cannot record addi-
tional messages until you delete some
of the old messages (see “Deleting Mes-
sages” on Page 10).
• Many local phone companies use calling
party control (CPC) to signal that the
caller has hung up. Your TAD can recog-
nize a CPC signal and release the line. If
the TAD records phone company mes-
sages or dial tones, your local phone
company probably does not use CPC.
USING THE ANNOUNCE-
ONLY FEATURE
Your TAD’s announce-only feature lets you
set the TAD to play a message for the caller,
then automatically hang up without letting the
caller leave a message.
To select the announce-only mode, slide
AN-
NOUNCE SELECT
to
AO
.
AO
appears. When
the TAD receives a call, it plays the an-
nounce-only message then hangs up.
To turn off announce-only, slide
ANNOUNCE
SELECT
to either
1
or
2
.
Notes:
• You must record an announce-only mes-
sage in order to use this feature.
• When the TAD is set for announce-only,
you cannot set it to record calls using
the remote commands (see “Remote
Commands” on Page 12).
