To set the TAD to not answer calls, simply turn it off by pressing ON/OFF until the ON LINE indicator turns off.
Answering Calls
After the TAD answers a call, the out- going announcement plays then the TAD sounds a beep and recording be- gins.
The caller can leave a message of up to 1 minute in length. After the call is over (when the caller hangs up or is si- lent for more than 7 seconds, or the maximum message length is reached), the TAD hangs up and resets to an- swer the next call. The PLAY indicator flashes to indicate an incoming mes- sage(s) has been recorded.

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.
•If the TAD reaches 100 percent full while a caller is leaving a mes- sage, the TAD hangs up. When the next call comes in, the TAD plays the memory full announce- ment.
