Note: If a call comes in during an inter- com conversation, the person using the handset can answer the call by pressing TALK, but the intercom call is discon- nected.

The device boasts a maximum record time of around 30 minutes, offering ample time for users to receive and store their messages.

The TAD-728 is equipped with a built-in microphone, allowing users to record personal announcements or messages. This feature was especially useful for businesses wishing to convey specific information to callers.

Subscribers of the TAD-728 could also benefit from its call screening feature. This capability allowed users to listen to incoming messages as they were being recorded, thereby giving them the option to pick up the call if necessary.

The TAD-728 is powered by standard AA batteries or can be plugged directly into a power outlet, making it a portable and flexible solution for various settings. Its compact design, with a lightweight build, ensured that it could fit seamlessly into any home or office space without taking up too much room.
