TAD-1003 Fully Digital TAD (430-0743) Operation Faxback Doc. # 32075 SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS To set the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER. If an outgoing message is recorded, the TAD announces, "Answer on," and the indicator lights. If no outgoing message is recorded, the TAD says, "Answer off, no announcement." (See "Recording the Outgoing Message.") To have the TAD not answer calls, press ANSWER again. The TAD says "Answer off," and the indicator turns off. RECORDING INCOMING MESSAGES The maximum incoming message recording length is 60 seconds. If a recording reaches 55 seconds, the TAD beeps once to notify the caller that time will be up soon. If a recording reaches 60 seconds, the TAD beeps three times, then disconnects. The TAD automatically stops and hangs up if the caller is silent for over 8 seconds. SCREENING CALLS Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave messages. If you want to speak to a caller, pick up any phone on the same line and begin speaking. The TAD detects when you pick up the phone and automatically resets to answer the next call. NOTE: If you pick up the phone exactly when the TAD answers, you might need to press STOP to stop the TAD. If you do not want to take the call, do not pick up the handset, and let the TAD finish recording the caller's message. PLAYING MESSAGES If there are new messages, the indicator flashes until all the new messages have been played. The display shows the total number of messages. To play all the messages, press PLAY. Or, to play only the new messages, press and hold down PLAY. The TAD announces the number of messages. NOTE: If there are no new messages stored, the TAD says, "No new message." Before playing each message, the TAD announces the message number and the day and time when each message was recorded. After all messages play, the TAD says, "End of message(s)" and saves all the messages. REPEATING MESSAGES To review a message while you are listening to it, press REPEAT. The current message starts again from the beginning. To hear the previous message, press and hold REPEAT until that message's number appears. The TAD plays the message. SKIPPING MESSAGES To skip to the next message while you are listening to a message, press SKIP once. The next recorded message plays. PAUSING MESSAGE PLAYBACK To pause while listening to messages, press STOP. PA appears on the display. Wait at least 2 seconds, then press STOP again to resume playing messages. NOTE: If you do not resume playing messages within 60 seconds, the TAD sounds a beep, the total number of messages appears, and the TAD stops playback. STOPPING MESSAGE PLAYBACK To stop playing messages, press STOP twice within 2 seconds. The TAD beeps once and stops playback. ERASING MESSAGES To delete a specific message, press DELETE once while the message is playing. The TAD beeps once and immediately erases the current message, then plays the next message. To erase all messages, while playback is stopped, press and hold down DELETE. The TAD sounds a long beep and 00 appears on the display. If you press and hold down DELETE without playing all the new messages first, the TAD announces, "New messages." NOTE: The TAD does not erase messages that have not been played. RECORDING A MEMO A memo is a message you can record at the TAD, without having to call in on the phone. NOTES: The maximum memo length is 60 seconds. If the TAD's memory is full (FL appears on the display), you must erase some messages before you can record a memo (see "Erasing Messages"). Follow these steps to record a memo. 1. Press and hold down MEMO. The TAD beeps. Speak into the microphone in a normal voice (while still holding down MEMO). The display shows how much time is left for recording. 2. Release MEMO when you finish the memo. The TAD beeps once, and the message number indicator increases by one. The memo is recorded along with the incoming messages. To hear the memo, simply play back your messages. (br/all-04/19/96)
