Notes:
•The maximum recording capacity is 48 minutes or 59 messages.
•Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD recognizes a CPC signal and releases the line. If the TAD records phone company messages or dial tones, your local phone company probably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer them, then listen to the caller’s message through the TAD’s speaker. To adjust the volume, slide VOLUME on the right side of the TAD.
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 answer the next call.
If you do not want to take the call, simply let the TAD finish recording the caller’s message.
Note: If you answer the phone just as the TAD answers, the TAD might not stop playing the outgoing message. If this happens, press STOP on the TAD.
PLAYING MESSAGES
The TAD’s message counter window shows the total number of messages, both old and new. If there are new mes- sages, the mailbox indicators flash to let you know which mailboxes have new messages.
Note: The TAD’s message counter win- dow might also alternately show other information to tell you the status of the TAD.
•A1 appears if you have not record- ed announcement (outgoing mes- sage) 1.
•A2 appears if you have not record- ed announcement 2.
•Lo appears if a backup battery is weak or missing.
To play all messages in a mailbox, press that mailbox’s button
To play only new messages, hold down the desired mailbox button for 2 sec- onds. The TAD tells you how many new messages you have in that mailbox and plays them.
