ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls, you must record the outgoing
message (OGM). This is what the caller
hears when the TAD answers a call.
Notes:
• The maximum outgoing message
length is 30 seconds.
• If memory is full and you attempt to
record an outgoing message, the
TAD announces, "Memory is full."
1. Press and hold down
The TAD beeps, and the display
begins counting down the time
from 30 seconds.
2. Speak in a normal voice about 8
inches away from the microphone
(located on the front of the TAD).
Ask for the caller's name, phone
number, and message.
Important: To keep your home
secure, do not tell callers that you
are not home. Instead, say that you
cannot come to the phone right
now.
