To record a memo, hold down MEM on the base until the TAD beeps and ––appears in the message counter win- dow, then speak your message (up to four minutes long). When you finish the memo, press STOP.
Note: The TAD-797 cannot record a memo less than two seconds long.

RECORDING A
CONVERSATION
The TAD-797 lets you record both sides of a telephone conversation.
Note: It is illegal in some areas to record a conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation, including the phone company. Check the laws in your area before you use the two-way record- ing feature.
To start recording a phone conversation, hold down MEM on the base until the TAD beeps and ––appears. As it records the conversation, the TAD beeps every 15 seconds to let the caller know that the conversation is being re- corded. To stop recording, press STOP.
The TAD-797 stores a recorded conver- sation as a message (see “Playing Mes- sages” on Page 30).
Note: The TAD-797 cannot record a conversation less than two seconds long.
PLAYING MESSAGES
After the TAD-797 has recorded a mes- sage, its message counter shows the to- tal number of messages stored. If you have new messages, the number flash- es.
