BASIC OPERATION
Be sure you complete the procedures in “Installation” and “Preparation” be- fore you begin using the TAD.
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
Press ON/OFF. 0 appears on the dis- play. When the answer indicator is lit, the TAD is set to answer calls.
Notes:
•If a battery is not installed or is weak, the display shows LO.
•If you have set the TAD not to answer calls, you can use a remote phone to set the TAD to answer calls. See “Remote
SETTING THE TAD TO RECORD MESSAGES
For a Single User
After the TAD answers a call, the out- going announcement plays and the TAD sounds a beep. Then the caller can leave a message in the general message box. After the call is over (or the set message length elapses), the TAD beeps, stops recording, adds the date/time stamp, and resets to answer the next call.
Notes:
•Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to sig- nal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD can recognize a CPC signal and release the line. If the TAD records phone company messages or dial tones, your local phone company probably does not use CPC.
•When the caller hangs up, the maximum message length is reached, or there are more than 7 seconds of silence, the TAD hangs up and resets to answer the next call.
•If the TAD reaches 100 percent full while a caller is leaving a mes- sage, the TAD plays the memory full announcement and hangs up. FL (full) flashes on the display.
