Press PLAY/REPEAT/ on the base, or press REMOTE then PLAY/RPT/8 on the handset. The TAD announces the num- ber of messages and whether the mes- sages are new or old (already listened to). Then each new message plays, fol- lowed by the day and time it was record- ed.

When you have both old and new mes- sages, the TAD first plays back only the new messages.
