INCOMING MESSAGE
RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls, it
plays the outgoing message, then
beeps. The caller can then record a
message up to 60 seconds long.
The TAD hangs up and resets to answer
the next call when:
• the caller hangs up
10
• the maximum message length is
reached
• there are more than 8 seconds of
silence
• you pick up any phone on the same
phone line as the TAD
If the TAD's memory becomes full, it an-
swers a call after two rings and an-
nounces, "Memory is full." Delete some
of the old messages to make room in
memory (see "Deleting Messages" on
Page 11).
Note: The maximum recording capacity
is 16 minutes.

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
the right side 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.
