SCREENING CALLS
You can let the TAD answer calls for
you while you listen to the caller’s
message through the base’s speaker.
If you decide to answer the call while
screening, lift the handset or press
TALK if the handset is away from the
base. The TAD stops recording and
resets to answer the next call.
You can also use the handset to
screen calls. When the TAD starts to
answer a call, press
REMOTE on the
handset and listen to the caller’s mes-
sage. If you decide to answer the call,
press
TALK . If you decide to hang up
and let the TAD record the caller’s
message, press
REMOTE again.
RECORDING A MEMO
You can leave a message (memo) up
to 4 minutes long, for yourself or oth-
ers, using the handset.
1. Press REMOTE on the handset so
the BATT LOW indicator lights
green.
2. Press MEMO REC/5 .
3. When the TAD beeps, speak into
the handset.
4. When you finish recording your
memo, press STOP/7 . The TAD
beeps again.
The memo must be at least 2 seconds
long to be recorded. If it is less than 2
seconds long, the TAD sounds an er-
ror beep.
The memo is counted as one mes-
sage. To listen to the recorded memo,
see “Playing Messages.”
PLAYING MESSAGES
After a new incoming message or
memo is recorded, the TAD beeps
about every 8 seconds, and the num-
ber of recorded messages flashes on
the display.
Notes:
• The maximum number of mes-
sages that the display can show is
19. The number does not change
even if you have received more
messages.
• When the TAD receives 40 mes-
sages or the memory capacity has
less than 1 minute left,
F (full)
flashes on the display.
• If you turn the off base’s ringer,
the TAD does not beep when it
receives new messages. See
“Turning Off/On the Base’s
Ringer” on Page 15.
