SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER.
If an outgoing message is recorded, the TAD announces, "Answer on,"
and the indicator in the call/message counter window lights.
If no outgoing message is recorded, the TAD says, "Answer off, no
announcement." (See "Recording the Outgoing Message," Faxback
Doc.# , Preparation.)
To have the TAD not answer calls, press ANSWER again. The TAD says
"Answer off," and the indicator turns off.
RECORDING INCOMING MESSAGES
After the TAD answers a call, the outgoing message plays. After the TAD
beeps at the end of the announcement, the caller must select a mailbox by
entering a number (1-4). The TAD announces, "Record Mailbox" and the
mailbox number. If the caller does not select a mailbox, the recorded
message is left in Mailbox 1.
The maximum incoming message recording length is 60 seconds. If a
recording reaches 55 seconds, the TAD beeps once to notify the caller that
time will be up soon. If a recording reaches 60 seconds, the TAD beeps
three times, then disconnects.
The TAD automatically stops and hangs up if it detects silence for over 8
seconds.
If the memory is full, the TAD announces, "Memory is full" and displays FL,
then disconnects.
SCREENING CALLS
Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave messages. If you want to speak
to a caller, pick up any phone on the same line and begin speaking. The
TAD detects when you pick up the phone and automatically resets to answer
the next call.
NOTE: If you pick up the phone exactly when the TAD answers, you might
need to press STOP to stop the TAD, or hang up momentarily, then
pick up the phone again.
If you do not want to take the call, do not pick up the handset, and let
the TAD finish recording the caller's message.
PLAYING MESSAGES
The TAD stores each message in one of the four mailboxes, depending on
which mailbox the caller selected. If there are new messages in a mailbox,
the mailbox's indicator flashes until all the new messages have been
played. The display shows the total number of messages in all mailboxes.
To play all the messages in a mailbox, press PLAY. The display shows PL.
Then press the selected mailbox button. (Or, to play only the new
messages, press and hold down the mailbox button.) The TAD announces
"Mailbox _____" and the number of messages (or new messages) stored in that
mailbox.
NOTES: If you check all messages and there are no messages stored in the
selected mailbox, the TAD says, "Mailbox _____, no message."
If you check new messages and there are no new messages stored in
the selected mailbox, the TAD says, "Mailbox _____, no new
message."
The TAD announces the mailbox number and the total number of messages for
that mailbox. Before playing each message, the TAD announces the message
number and the day and time when each message was recorded. After all
messages play, the TAD says, "End of message(s)" and saves all the
messages.
Repeating Messages
To review a message while you are listening to it, press REPEAT. The
current message starts again from the beginning.
To hear an earlier message, repeatedly press REPEAT until the desired
message's number appears. The TAD plays the message.

SKIP once. The next recorded message plays.

messages.

beeps, the total number of messages appears, and the TAD stops
playback.

To stop playing messages, press STOP twice within 2 seconds. The TAD beeps
once and stops playback.
Deleting Messages
Deleting a Single Message
To delete a specific message, press DELETE once while the message is
playing. The TAD beeps once and immediately deletes the current message,
then plays the next message or announces, "End of messages" (if that
message was the last one).
Deleting All Messages in a Mailbox

1. Press DELETE. dE appears on the display.
2. Press and hold down the desired mailbox button to delete the messages
in that mailbox. The TAD sounds a long beep and the display shows how

played, the TAD announces, "New messages."
Note: The TAD does not delete messages that have not been played.
RECORDING A MEMO
A memo is a message you can record at the TAD, without having to call in on
a phone. You can record a memo in any of the mailboxes.
NOTES: The maximum memo length is 60 seconds.

3. Release the mailbox button when you finish recording the memo. The
TAD beeps once and the message number indicator increases by one.
