DIGITAL GREETING AND INCOMING MESSAGES
Greetings and incoming messages are recorded on a digital chip - reducing mechanical
components and increasing reliability. The TA-180 allows a total of 28 minutes of combined
recording time for greetings, incoming messages, recorded memos and recorded conversations.
Your all digital answering machine provides you with the following advantages:
1. Permanent Message Protection - does not require a battery during a power failure to maintain
greetings, recorded messages and remote code.
2. Reliability. There are no moving parts to break. The use of electronic components effectively
increases the life of your machine.
3. Operational Ease. There is no tape to rewind or entangle. You no longer have to worry about
replacing worn or damaged tapes.
4. Instant Access TM to Messages. All messages are recorded digitally and therefore can be
accessed instantly for playback. In addition, other features such as Variable Speed
Playback TM , Skip & Repeat and Selective Save & Erase are only possible on all digital
machines.
NOTE:
The audio quality of digitally recorded incoming messages and greetings may be subtly different than incoming
messages and greetings recorded on a microcassette machine.
VOICE ASSISTED OPERATION
A synthesized voice confirms machine functions and commands when operating and
programming the TA-180 at the machine.
ONE- OR TWO-LINE ANSWERING MACHINE
The TA-180 answers one or two phone lines and shows the message count for each line in the
digital display. For total user control, the answering machine for each line can be turned on or off
independently.
TWO GREETINGS
Record one or two greetings, one for each line, or one for both lines. Greetings of unlimited
length can be recorded up to the maximum recording capacity of the TA-180. This allows you to
record lengthy detailed outgoing messages for your callers if you desire.
MESSAGE FILE
Message File offers a convenient way to store important messages, long messages or to separate
messages for business, personal use or for other users.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPLAY
The Display shows:
the time (if no messages are recorded)
the number of messages received on each line
active line for answering machine
machine status: recording, announce only mode, etc.
greeting mode
message file icon (if messages are transferred)
save and erase indicators
VOICE TIME/DAY/LINE STAMP
During message playback at the machine or via remote operation, a synthesized voice announces
the time, day and the line for each message.
ONE-TOUCH CONTROLS
Many of the features of the TA-180 are activated by pressing a single button. There are no
complicated instructions to remember.
REMOTE OPERATION WITH VOICE MENU
Use the programmable 3-digit remote access code to operate the TA-180 remotely from most
touchtone and cellular phones.
SHORT BURST/CELLULAR COMPATIBLE
This answering machine is compatible with short burst phones such as pay phones, car phones
and other cellular phones. You can use a short burst phone to access the unit in remote
operation.
SIMULTANEOUS ANSWERING OF BOTH LINES
If either line is in use on the Speakerphone or busy recording a message, a special message will
be announced to the calling party on the other line to indicate the busy status of the TA-180. The
second calling party will hear, " Hello. Thank you for calling. Your call will be answered shortly. "
This message will be repeated every ten seconds until the first line is no longer in use. The
greeting will play and the second calling party can then record a message.
