USING CALL BREAK- THROUGH

If you screen your calls but want to be sure to know when calls come in from certain people, give those people your call breakthrough (CBT) code. Tell them to enter the code during the outgoing message.

When a caller enters the CBT code, the TAD alerts you with two beeps, then it pauses for 40 seconds. Then the TAD sounds one beep every second for 5 seconds. To answer the call within the 45-second alert, pick up the handset. If you do not answer, the caller can leave a message after a long beep sounds.

Note: CBT works only when you use the OGM 1 message.

Changing the CBT Code

2.Press MEMO/REPEAT. Cc appears followed by the digits of the preset CBT code in sequence, then the first digit reappears. For example, when the security code is 168, the

display shows Cc, 1, –6, 8, then

1reappears.

3.Repeatedly press SKIP/CODE or MEMO/REPEAT to set the first digit, then press ANSWER. The second digit appears.

Note: If you enter an incorrect digit, press STOP/TIME SET, then repeat the procedure.

4.Press SKIP/CODE or MEMO/REPEAT to set the second digit, then press ANSWER. The third digit appears.

5.Press SKIP/CODE or MEMO/REPEAT to set the third digit, then press AN- SWER. The TAD sounds a long beep.

The CBT code is preset to 168, but you can change it by following these steps.

1.Hold down CODE/SKIP until the TAD beeps once. Co appears.

Note: If you do not complete each of the following steps within 8 sec- onds, the TAD stops setting the code. Start again from Step 1.
