When you first connect power, the TAD runs a self-test. When the test is com- plete (about 17 seconds), the TAD beeps and announces, “Answer off.”

Note: When you first connect power, the PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes, indicating that you have not recorded an outgoing message. If you have not installed a backup battery, the ANSWER indicator also flashes.

To avoid losing the day and time set- tings if AC power fails, we recommend you install a backup battery before you set the day and time (see “Installing a Backup Battery” on Page 6).
