ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls and record messages, you must record an outgoing message (OGM). Your outgoing message can be up to 60 seconds long.

1.Hold down OGM/REPEAT until the TAD beeps.

3.The TAD automatically stops recording after 60 seconds, or you can press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE when you finish recording the mes- sage. The TAD beeps and auto- matically plays the outgoing message.

To play the outgoing message at any time, press OGM/REPEAT. If no outgo- ing message is recorded, the TAD says, “No announcement.”

SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

Note: If memory is full, the PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes, the TAD announces, “Memory is full,” and you cannot record the outgoing message. Delete old mes- sages to make room in memory (see “Deleting Messages” on Page 18).

2.Position yourself about 8 inches away from the TAD and speak into the microphone (located on the front of the TAD).

To set the number of times the TAD rings before it answers a call, slide the 4, 7, TS switch (located on the right side of the TAD) to the desired slot.

TOLL SAVER

To help you avoid unnecessary long distance charges, you can slide RING SELECT to TS (Toll Saver). Once you select TS, if there are new messages (ones you have not played), the TAD answers on the second ring. If there are no new messages, the TAD an- swers on the 4th ring, and gives you time to hang up before it answers.
