TAD OPERATION

SELECTING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE

The TAD has two prerecorded outgoing messages. One asks the caller to leave a message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” The TAD uses this mes- sage when REC TIME is set to 1 or 4 (see “Setting the Record Time” on Page 29).

The other is simply an announcement and does not let the caller leave a mes- sage: “Hello, no one is available to take your call.” The TAD uses this message when REC TIME is set to ANN (an- nouncement only)

You can also record your own message (see “Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message”). When you record your own outgoing message, the TAD uses it for all REC TIME settings.

To switch between your outgoing mes- sage and the TAD’s prerecorded mes- sage, press OGM. When the current message begins to play, press OGM again. The TAD switches to the other message and plays it.

RECORDING/DELETING AN OUTGOING MESSAGE

To record your outgoing message (up to 30 seconds long), hold down OGM until the TAD beeps and --appears. When you finish your message, press STOP. The TAD plays back your message.

Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now.

Note: The TAD-797 cannot record an outgoing message less than two sec- onds long.

To delete your outgoing message and use the TAD’s prerecorded messages, hold down OGM until the TAD beeps. Then press OGM again within two sec- onds.
