BASIC OPERATION
Be sure you complete the procedures
in “Installation” and “Preparation” be-
fore you begin using the TAD.
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
Press ON/OFF . 0 appears on the dis-
play. When the answer indicator is lit,
the TAD is set to answer calls.
Notes:
• If a battery is not installed or is
weak, the display shows LO .
• If you have set the TAD not to
answer calls, you can use a
remote phone to set the TAD to
answer calls. See “Remote
Answer-On.”
SETTING THE TAD TO
RECORD MESSAGES
For a Single User
After the TAD answers a call, the out-
going announcement plays and the
TAD sounds a beep. Then the caller
can leave a message in the general
message box. After the call is over (or
the set message length elapses), the
TAD beeps, stops recording, adds the
date/time stamp, and resets to answer
the next call.
Notes:
• Many local phone companies use
calling party control (CPC) to sig-
nal that the caller has hung up.
Your TAD can recognize a CPC
signal and release the line. If the
TAD records phone company
messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does
not use CPC.
• When the caller hangs up, the
maximum message length is
reached, or there are more than 7
seconds of silence, the TAD
hangs up and resets to answer
the next call.
• If the TAD reaches 100 percent
full while a caller is leaving a mes-
sage, the TAD plays the memory
full announcement and hangs up.
FL (full) flashes on the display.
