SETTING THE RECORD TIME

Set REC TIME to 1, 4, or ANN to deter- mine how the TAD-797 will record in- coming messages.

1 — The TAD plays the outgoing message and lets callers leave a message up to 1 minute long.

4 — The TAD plays the outgoing message and lets callers leave a message up to 4 minutes long.

ANN (announcement only) — The TAD plays the outgoing message but does not let callers leave a mes- sage.

SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS

To set the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER. If the TAD is set to record a caller’s message (see “Setting the Record Time”), it plays the outgoing message and shows the number of re- corded messages. If the TAD is set to announcement-only, it plays the outgo- ing message, and A appears.

To set the TAD to not answer calls, press ANSWER. The TAD announces “Answer off” and the message counter turns off.

SCREENING CALLS

You can let the TAD answer calls for you while you listen to the caller’s message through the base’s speaker. If you de- cide to answer the call, lift the handset and press TALK, or pick up any phone on the same line. The TAD stops record- ing and resets to answer the next call.

RECORDING INCOMING MESSAGES

After the TAD answers a call, it plays the outgoing message, beeps, and records the caller’s message.

Each incoming message can be up to 1 or 4 minutes long, depending on how you set REC TIME (see “Setting the Record Time”). The TAD-797’s maxi- mum recording capacity is 15 minutes or 59 recorded messages.
