ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing message (OGM). This is what the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.
Notes:
•The maximum outgoing message length is 30 seconds.
•If memory is full and you attempt to record an outgoing message, the TAD announces, “Memory is full.”
1.Press and hold down ANNOUNCE. The TAD beeps, and the display begins counting down the time from 30 seconds.
3.When you finish recording, release ANNOUNCE. The TAD beeps, auto- matically repeats the outgoing message so you can verify it, then beeps again.
4.Adjust VOLUME on the right side of the TAD to the desired listening level.
To play the outgoing message at any time (except while recording or playing messages), press and release AN- NOUNCE. If no outgoing message is re- corded, the TAD says, “No announcement.”
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 lights.
2.Speak in a normal voice about 8 inches away from the microphone (located on the front of the TAD). Ask for the caller’s name, phone number, and message.
Important: To keep your home secure, do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now.
