Recording the Outgoing Announcement

The TAD has a built-in outgoing an- nouncement that says “Please leave your message after the tone.”

You can record another announce- ment for the caller to hear when the TAD answers a call. The announce- ment can be up to 1 minute long.

Important Hints:

•We recommend you write down your announcement before recording it. If you plan to record callers’ messages, ask for the caller’s name, phone number, and message.

•Do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that you can- not come to the phone right now.

Follow these steps to record your out- going announcement.

1.Press and hold OGM (outgoing message) until the TAD beeps and the ON LINE indicator flashes.

2.Release OGM and record your announcement. Speak into the TAD from about 12 inches away.

Note: The outgoing message must be at least 2 seconds long for proper remote operation.

3.When you finish speaking, press ON/OFF. The TAD beeps once, the announcement plays, then the ON LINE indicator stops flashing and the TAD beeps once more.

Note: To change the outgoing an- nouncement, you can repeat these steps to record over the current one, or delete the current one so the TAD once again uses its built-in outgoing announcement (see “Checking/Delet- ing the Outgoing Announcement”).

Checking/Deleting the Outgoing Announcement

You can press OGM at any time to play the outgoing announcement. Adjust VOLUME on the side of the TAD to a comfortable listening level.

To stop listening to the outgoing an- nouncement before it ends, press ON/ OFF.

To delete your recorded outgoing an- nouncement, press PGM/DEL while the TAD is playing it. The TAD beeps twice and is then set to use its built-in an- nouncement.
