5.Press for AM or for PM. The TAD beeps, then announces the time you set through the handset, and beeps again.

Notes:

•The seconds start to count from 00 when you set AM or PM.

•If you make an error, the handset beeps 5 times. Repeat the steps to enter the day and time cor- rectly.

SELECTING AN OUTGOING MESSAGE

The TAD has two pre-recorded mes- sages. One asks the caller to leave a message (“Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave your message after the tone.”); the other is simply an announcement and does not let the caller leave a message (“Hello, no one is available to take your call.”). You can also record your own message (see “Recording an Outgoing Message”).

Use the REC TIME switch to select which message you want. When you set it to either 1 or 4 (minutes), the nor- mal message is selected and the TAD records each incoming message for up to 1 or 4 minutes. When you set it to ANN, the announce-only message is selected.

Recording an Outgoing Message

You can record your own message up to 1 minute long for the caller to hear when the TAD answers a call. Use the handset to record the message.

If you record an outgoing message, the TAD plays it instead of either pre- recorded message. Depending on the REC TIME switch setting, either tell callers to leave a message or state your message as an announcement only.

Hint: 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 message.

1.Press REMOTE on the handset so the BATT LOW indicator lights green.

2.Hold down OGM REC/8 for about 2 seconds until the TAD beeps. Then speak your outgoing mes- sage into the handset.
