TAD OPERATION
Be sure you complete the procedures
in “Installation” and “TAD Preparation”
before you begin using the TAD.
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER/NOT ANSWER
CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, simply
turn it on by pressing
ON/OFF so the
ANSWER indicator turns on.
Note: You can also use a remote
phone to set the TAD to answer calls.
See “Remote Answer-On” on
Page 27.
To set the TAD to not answer calls,
simply turn it off by pressing
ON/OFF
so the ANSWER indicator turns off.
Answering Calls
After the TAD answers a call, the out-
going announcement plays, then the
TAD sounds a beep and begins re-
cording.
After the call is over (when the caller
hangs up or the maximum message
length of 1 minute is reached), the
TAD hangs up and resets to answer
the next call. The PLAY indicator
flashes to indicate an incoming mes-
sage(s) has been recorded.
Notes:
• Many local phone companies use
calling party control (CPC) to sig-
nal that the caller has hung up.
Your TAD recognizes a CPC sig-
nal and releases the line. If the
TAD records phone company
messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does
not use CPC.
• If the TAD reaches 100 percent
full while a caller is leaving a mes-
sage, the TAD hangs up. When
the next call comes in, the TAD
plays the memory full announce-
ment.
• If the caller hangs up or is silent
for more than 7 seconds after
speaking for less than 2 seconds,
or if the incoming message is less
than 2 seconds in length, the TAD
hangs up and resets to answer
the next call, but does not record
a message.
