RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGES

Before the TAD (Telephone Answering De- vice) can answer calls and record messages, you must record an outgoing message (OGM). The TAD lets you record two sepa- rate messages, and it operates differently based on which message you select.

OGM 1 — After playing your outgoing mes- sage, the TAD records the caller's message.

OGM 2 (announce-only) — The TAD plays your outgoing message, but does not record a message.

Notes:

The maximum length for each outgoing message is 32 seconds. As you record, the message counter shows the record- ing time.

If you plan to use the TAD's announce- only feature, OGM 2 should clearly state that the caller cannot leave a message.

OGM1 or OGM2 stops flashing to indicate OGM1 or OGM2 is recorded.

Follow these steps to record an outgoing message.

1.To record the OGM 1 (or OGM 2) mes- sage, hold down OGM1 (or OGM2) until the TAD beeps and the timer starts counting. OGM1 RECORDING (or OGM2 RECORDING) appears.

Note: As soon as the TAD beeps, release OGM1 (or OGM2) quickly. Other- wise, the TAD records a “pop” sound at the beginning of the outgoing message.

2.Speak your message from about 8 inches from the front of the TAD.

3.When you finish, press STOP. The TAD beeps and plays back the outgoing mes- sage.

CHECKING THE OUTGOING MESSAGES

To check an outgoing message, press OGM1 or OGM2. OGM1 PLAYING or OGM2 PLAY- ING appears and the message plays.

If no outgoing message is recorded when you press OGM1 or OGM2, the TAD announc- es “You have no announcement one” (or “two”) and sounds four beeps.

SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS

To turn on the TAD and set it to answer calls and record messages, press ANSWER once. The TAD says “Answer on”, and beeps once. ANS ON appears, the TAD plays the outgo- ing message and shows OGM1 PLAYING briefly. The HOLD/ANSWER indicator lights to show that the TAD is ready to answer calls using the OGM 1 message and the record caller’s message.
