RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing mes- sage (OGM) the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.
Note: The maximum outgoing message length is 60 seconds.
1. Hold down ANNC. The TAD beeps.
Note: When memory is full, the TAD displays FL and announces, “Memory is full,” and you cannot record the outgoing message. Delete old messages to make room in memory (see “Erasing Mes- sages” on Page 14).
2.Speak in a normal voice about 8 inches (20 cm) away from the front of the TAD. Ask for the caller’s name, phone number, and mes- sage. The display counts down the seconds as you record.

Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now.
3.When you finish recording, release ANNC. The TAD beeps and repeats the outgoing message so you can verify it.
To play the outgoing message at any time, press ANNC. If no outgoing mes- sage is recorded, the TAD says “No an- nouncement.”
