USING THE ANNOUNCEMENT-ONLY FEATURE
With the announcement-only feature turned on, you can leave an initial phone answering message and a menu of five additional messages for callers to hear. Callers cannot leave messages, but they can select the an- nouncements they want to hear. Each announcement can be up to either 1 or 3 minutes (see “Setting the Message Length”).
Note: When the TAD is set for an- nouncement-only, you cannot set it to record calls using the remote com- mands as described in “Remote An- swer-On.”
Follow these steps to record the an- nouncements.
1.Press ANNOUNCE. AO appears on the display.
2.Press OGM and 1 (for Announce- ment 1) at the same time until the answer indicator flashes.
3.Speak the announcement in a strong voice about 12 inches from the TAD.
4.Press ON/OFF when you finish speaking. The TAD plays back the announcement.
5.Repeat Steps 2-4 to record up to five other announcements, enter- ing the number of the announce- ment in Step 2.
The announcement-only feature is au- tomatically turned on.
When the announcement-only feature is turned on and the TAD answers a call, Announcement 1 plays. When the TAD finishes playing Announcement 1, the caller can press 1 to hear An- nouncement 1 again or 2 through 6 to listen to Announcements 2 through 6. If the caller does not press a button within 7 seconds, the TAD hangs up.
Note: If only Announcement 1 is re- corded, the TAD plays it and hangs up.
