SCREENING CALLS
You can let the TAD answer calls for you while you listen to the caller’s message through the base’s speaker. If you decide to answer the call while screening, lift the handset or press TALK if the handset is away from the base. The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call.
You can also use the handset to screen calls. When the TAD starts to answer a call, press REMOTE on the handset and listen to the caller’s mes- sage. If you decide to answer the call, press TALK. If you decide to hang up and let the TAD record the caller’s message, press REMOTE again.
RECORDING A MEMO
You can leave a message (memo) up to 4 minutes long, for yourself or oth- ers, using the handset.
1.Press REMOTE on the handset so the BATT LOW indicator lights green.
2.Press MEMO REC/5.
3.When the TAD beeps, speak into the handset.

4.When you finish recording your memo, press STOP/7. The TAD beeps again.
The memo must be at least 2 seconds long to be recorded. If it is less than 2 seconds long, the TAD sounds an er- ror beep.
The memo is counted as one mes- sage. To listen to the recorded memo, see “Playing Messages.”
PLAYING MESSAGES
After a new incoming message or memo is recorded, the TAD beeps about every 8 seconds, and the num- ber of recorded messages flashes on the display.
Notes:
•The maximum number of mes- sages that the display can show is 19. The number does not change even if you have received more messages.
•When the TAD receives 40 mes- sages or the memory capacity has less than 1 minute left, F (full) flashes on the display.
•If you turn the off base’s ringer, the TAD does not beep when it receives new messages. See “Turning Off/On the Base’s Ringer” on Page 15.
