Radio Shack TAD-795 - Manual (Page 11)

11
Notes:
• The maximum recording capacity is
48 minutes or 59 messages.
• Many local phone companies use
calling party control (CPC) to signal
that the caller has hung up. Your
TAD recognizes a CPC signal and
releases the line. If the TAD records
phone company messages or dial
tones, your local phone company
probably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer
them, then listen to the caller’s message
through the TAD’s speaker. To adjust the
volume, slide
VOLUME on the right side
of the TAD.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up
any phone on the same phone line as
the TAD. The TAD stops recording and
resets to answer the next call.
If you do not want to take the call, simply
let the TAD finish recording the caller’s
message.
Note: If you answer the phone just as
the TAD answers, the TAD might not
stop playing the outgoing message. If
this happens, press
STOP on the TAD.
PLAYING MESSAGES
The TAD’s message counter window
shows the total number of messages,
both old and new. If there are new mes-
sages, the mailbox indicators flash to let
you know which mailboxes have new
messages.
Note: The TAD’s message counter win-
dow might also alternately show other
information to tell you the status of the
TAD.
• A1 appears if you have not record-
ed announcement (outgoing mes-
sage) 1.
• A2 appears if you have not record-
ed announcement 2.
• Lo appears if a backup battery is
weak or missing.
To play all messages in a mailbox, press
that mailbox’s button (
1 – 4 ). The TAD an-
nounces the number of messages re-
corded in the selected mailbox, each
message number, and the day and time
the message was recorded, and then
plays the message.
To play only new messages, hold down
the desired mailbox button for 2 sec-
onds. The TAD tells you how many new
messages you have in that mailbox and
plays them.
