RECORDING OUTGOING MESSAGES

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing
message the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.  The TAD can record
two kinds of messages,   Pressing ANNC 1 records the outgoing message
callers hear when the TAD is set to the answer-record mode. Pressing ANNC 2
records the message callers hear when the TAD is set to the announcement-
only mode.

NOTES:  The maximum outgoing message length for each message is 30 seconds.
        As you record, the display shows the elapsed seconds. 

Recording the ANNC 1 Message

1.  Press and hold down ANNC 1 until the TAD beeps 

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:  Do not tell callers that you are not home.  Instead, say 
                that you cannot come to the phone right now.

Recording the ANNC 2 Message

You can also set the TAD to make an announcement only, without recording
incoming messages.  This is useful for announcing information about an
upcoming event.  Be sure the announcement clearly states that the caller
cannot leave a message.

1.  Press and hold down ANNC 2 until the TAD beeps.

2.  Speak in a normal voice about 8 inches away from the microphone.

3.  When you finish recording, press STOP until the TAD beeps.  The TAD
    automatically repeats the outgoing message so you can verify it.
    Adjust VOLUME at the right side of the TAD to the desired listening
    level.

4.  To play back your announcement-only message at any time, press ANNC 2,
    A2 appears.  The TAD beeps, and the announcement-only message plays.

SETTING RING SELECT 2/4/TS

RING SELECT 2/4/TS on the left side of the TAD controls how long the TAD
waits before it answers a call.

2 - The TAD answers after two rings.

4 - The TAD answers after four rings.

TS (Toll Saver) - If there are no messages, the TAD answers after four
rings.  Otherwise, the TAD answers after about two rings.  This lets you
avoid unnecessary toll charges when calling by long-distance to check you
messages.  If you hear more than two rings, the TAD has no messages.  Hang
up so you will not be charged for the call.
