SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

Set RING TIME on the side of the base to 3, 5, or T/S to select how long the TAD waits to answer a call (3 rings, 5 rings, or toll-saver).

Note: If you plan to check messages by long distance, set RING TIME to toll-sav- er (see “Using Toll-Saver” on Page 32).

SETTING THE DAY/TIME

You must set the day of the week and time so the TAD can record the correct day and time of each message.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds between each key press, the TAD exits the time setting process. Start again at Step 1.

1.Hold down CLOCK until the TAD beeps. The TAD announces the cur- rently set day and displays the day’s number (0 for Sunday, 1 for Mon- day, and so on).
