Recording the Outgoing Messages

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls and record messages, you must record the outgoing message (OGM) the caller hears when the TAD answers a call. The TAD-1024 lets you record two separate messages and it operates dif- ferently based on which message you select (see “Setting the TAD to Answer Calls” on Page 11).

•OGM 1 plays the message you re- corded, and lets the caller leave a message of up to 60 seconds.

•OGM 2 (announcement only) plays the message you recorded, but hangs up without letting the caller leave a message. This is useful for announcing information about an upcoming event. Be sure the announcement clearly states that the caller cannot leave a message. If the TAD-1024’s memory becomes full, it will automatically switch from OGM 1 to OGM 2 and play that message for any new calls.

Note: The maximum length for each out- going message is 32 seconds. As you record, the display counts down the re- maining recording time.

Recording the Outgoing Messages

1.To record an OGM 1 message, hold down OGM 1 until the TAD beeps and A1 (Announcement 1) appears.

To record an OGM 2 message, hold down OGM 2 until the TAD beeps and A2 (Announcement 2) appears.

2.Speak in a normal voice about 8 inches away from the microphone (located on the front of the TAD). If you recording the OGM 1 message, ask for the caller’s name, phone number, and message.
