SCREENING CALLS
Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave messages. If you want to speak to a call- er, pick up any phone on the same line and begin speaking. The TAD detects when you pick up the phone and auto- matically resets to answer the next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone exactly when the TAD answers, you might need to press STOP to stop the TAD, or hang up momentarily, then pick up the phone again.
If you do not want to take the call, do not pick up the handset, and let the TAD fin- ish recording the caller’s message.
PLAYING MESSAGES
The TAD stores each message in one of the four mailboxes, depending on which mailbox the caller selected. If there are new messages in a mailbox, the mail- box’s indicator flashes until all the new messages have been played. The dis- play shows the total number of messag- es in all mailboxes.
To play all the messages in a mailbox, press PLAY. The display shows PL. Then press the selected mailbox button.
(Or, to play only the new messages, press and hold down the mailbox but- ton.) The TAD announces “Mailbox __” and the number of messages (or new messages) stored in that mailbox.
Notes:
•If you check all messages and there are no messages stored in the selected mailbox, the TAD says, “Mailbox __, no message.”
•If you check new messages and there are no new messages stored in the selected mailbox, the TAD says, “Mailbox __, no new mes- sage.”
The TAD announces the mailbox num- ber and the total number of messages for that mailbox. Before playing each message, the TAD announces the mes- sage number and the day and time when each message was recorded. Af- ter all messages play, the TAD says, “End of message(s)” and saves all the messages.
