• Many local phone companies use Calling Party Control
(CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Your TAD can
recognize a CPC signal and release the line. If the TAD
records phone company messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does not use CPC.
USING THE ANNOUNCE-ONLY
FEATURE
Your TAD's announce-only feature lets you set the TAD to play
a message for the caller, then automatically hang up without let-
ting the caller leave a message.
To select the announce-only mode, slide
. When the TAD receives a call, it plays the announce-only
ONLY
message, then monitors the phone line for remote codes re-
ceived within about 7 seconds.
To use this feature, you must record an announce-only OGM.
Slide to
INCOMING MSG
After the beep, speak clearly into the microphone from about 10
inches in front of the TAD. (The message can be as long as the
remaining memory allows.) Release
ing. The TAD automatically plays back your recorded message.
Notes:
• The announce-only OGM does not affect your original
OGM that tells callers to leave a message. Each OGM can
be recorded, played back, or deleted independently.
