Announcement-Only

Message

You can press OGM while the ANN in- dicator is turned on to play the an- nouncement-only message. Adjust VOLUME on the side of the TAD to a comfortable listening level.

To stop listening to the message be- fore it ends, press ON/OFF.

To delete your recorded announce- ment-only message, press PGM/DEL while the TAD is playing it.

Note: If you delete your recorded an- nouncement-only message (or never initially record an announcement), to use the announcement-only feature, you must first record an announce- ment-only message. Otherwise, the TAD will not answer calls.

SCREENING CALLS

To screen your calls, let the TAD an- swer all calls for you, and listen to the caller’s message through the TAD’s speaker. If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone connected to the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD stops recording and resets to an- swer the next call.

Note: If you pick up the phone just as the TAD answers, the TAD might not stop recording. If this happens, hang up the phone momentarily, then pick it up again.
