To set the TAD to answer calls, press

ANSWER/STOP/DELETE.

If an outgoing message is re- corded, the TAD announces, “An- swer on,” and the ANSWER indicator lights.

If no outgoing message is recorded, the TAD says, “Answer off, no announcement” (see “Recording the Outgoing Message” on Page 16).

To have the TAD not answer calls, press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE again. The TAD announces “Answer off,” and the ANSWER indicator turns off.

You pick up any extension on the same phone line as the TAD (see “Screening Calls”).

The PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes when a new message is recorded.

SCREENING CALLS

To screen calls, let the TAD answer. Listen to the caller’s message through the TAD’s speaker. If you decide to an- swer the call, pick up any phone con- nected to the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD stops recording and re- sets to answer the next call.

Note: If you pick up the phone just as the TAD answers, it might not stop play- ing the OGM. If this happens, press AN- SWER/STOP/DELETE to stop the TAD.

PLAYING MESSAGES

When there are new messages, the PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes until all the new messages have been played.
