Listen to the caller's message through the TAD's speaker. To adjust the volume, slide SPEAKER VOL MIN/MAX on the right side of the TAD (see “Adjusting the Volume” on Page 11).

If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD stops recording and resets to an- swer the next call.

USING CALL

BREAKTHROUGH

If you screen your calls but want to know when calls come in from certain people, give them your Call Breakthrough (CBT) Code.

When a caller enters the CBT code during the outgoing message, the TAD alerts you with a series of loud beeps for 35 seconds. To answer the call, pick up the handset. If you do not answer, the caller can leave a message after the outgoing message plays.

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

Note: If you do not complete each step with- in 8 seconds, the TAD exits setup. Start again from Step 1.

1.Hold down STOP until the TAD beeps once.

2.Press DIAL four times. 168 and SET CBT CODE appear. 1 flashes.

3.Repeatedly press :/8 to set the first digit, then press 9/;. The second digit flashes.

Note: If you make a mistake, repeatedly press 9/; until the desired digit flashes then re-enter the code.

4.Repeat Step 3 to set the second and third digits.

5.Press DIAL then press STOP to return to the time display.
