TAD Operation
The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call when:
²the caller hangs up
²the maximum message length is reached
²there are more than 5 seconds of silence
If the TAD’s memory is full, F (full) and the number of recorded messages alternately appear, and it answers after 10 rings and an- nounces “Memory is full.”
Notes:
²The maximum total of messages the TAD can store is 22 min- utes.
