ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGES

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls and record messages, you must record the outgoing message (OGM) the caller hears when the TAD answers a call. The TAD-1026 lets you record two separate messages and it operates dif- ferently based on which message you select (see “Setting the TAD to Answer Calls” on Page 20).

•OGM1 plays the message you re- corded, and lets the caller leave a message of up to 60 seconds.

•OGM2 (announcement only) plays the message you recorded, but hangs up without letting the caller leave a message. This is useful for announcing information about an upcoming event. Be sure the an- nouncement clearly states that the caller cannot leave a message. If the TAD-1026’s memory becomes full, it will automatically switch from OGM1 to OGM2 and play OGM2 for any new calls.

Note: The maximum length for each out- going message is 32 seconds. As you record, the display counts down the re- maining recording time.

1.To record an OGM1 message, hold down OGM1 until the TAD beeps and A1 (Announcement 1) appears.

To record an OGM2 message, hold down OGM2 until the TAD beeps and A2 (Announcement 2) appears.

2.Speak in a normal voice about 8 inches away from the microphone (located on the front of the TAD). If you are recording the OGM1 mes- sage, ask for the caller’s name, phone number, and message.
