13 Preparation
SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS
The ring select switch ( 4/7/TS ) controls how long the TAD waits
before it answers a call. Slide the switch to the appropriate posi-
tion.
4 — The TAD answers after four rings.
7 — The TAD answers after seven rings.
TS (Toll Saver) — If there are new messages, the TAD an-
swers after two rings. If there are no new messages, the TAD
waits for four rings before answering. This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unneces-
sary long-distance charges when you call in to check your mes-
sages from a remote location.
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER .
If an outgoing message is recorded, the TAD announces, “An-
swer on,” and the display’s indicator lights.
If no outgoing message is recorded, the TAD says, “Answer off,
no announcement.” You must record a message (see “Record-
ing an Outgoing Message” on Page 11).
To have the TAD not answer calls, press ANSWER again. The
TAD says “Answer off,” and the display’s indicator turns off.
