ANSWER CALLS

message, you can set the TAD to an-
swer calls.
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ANSWER . The announcement number
( A1 or A2 ) appears, then the TAD plays
the outgoing message and shows the
number of recorded messages. The AN-
SWER indicator lights to show that the
TAD is ready to answer calls.
To set the TAD to record callers’ mes-
sages, press
OGM 1 . The TAD says “An-
swer on” and plays OGM 1.
To set the TAD to play an outgoing mes-
sage but not let callers leave a mes-
sage, press
OGM 2 . The TAD says
“Announce only” and plays OGM 2. Ao

corded messages alternately appear.

INCOMING MESSAGE
RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls us-
ing OGM 1, it plays the outgoing mes-
sage, then beeps. The caller can then
record a message up to 60 seconds
long.
The TAD normally records messages in
mailbox 1, but callers can record to a
specific mailbox by pressing
# and its
number (1–4) after the outgoing mes-
sage.
When a recording reaches 55 seconds,
the TAD beeps to notify the caller that
time will soon be up. At 60 seconds, the
TAD sounds a long beep and four short
beeps, says “Thank you for your call,”
and hangs up.
The TAD stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
• the caller hangs up
• the maximum message length is
reached
• there are more than 8 seconds of si-
lence
• you pick up any phone on the same
line as the TAD
If the TAD’s memory is full, FL and the
number of recorded messages alter-
nately appear. It answers calls after 3
rings and plays the announce-only mes-
sage (OGM 2). If no OGM 2 is recorded,
the TAD says “Memory is full, please call
later.”
