BASIC OPERATION

RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before the TAD can answer calls and
record messages, you must record an
outgoing message (OGM). The TAD-
798 lets you record two separate mes-
sages, and it operates differently based
on the message you select (see "Using
the Announce-Only
Page 11).
• OGM 1. After playing your outgoing
message, the TAD lets callers
record a message.
• OGM 2 (announcement-only). The
TAD plays your outgoing message,
but does not let the caller record a
message.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are out
of town or not home. Instead, say that
you cannot come to the phone right
now.
Notes:
• The maximum length for each out-
going message is 32 seconds. As
you record, the message counter
shows the recording time.
• If you plan to use the TAD's an-
nouncement-only feature, OGM 2
should clearly state that the caller
cannot leave a message.
