Notes:
• The maximum recording capacity is
32 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

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

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 line indicators flash to let you
know which line has new messages.
Note: The TAD's message counter win-
dow might also alternately show other
information to tell you the status of the
TAD.
