TAD-1006 Digital Answering System Telephone with Time/Day Stamp (430-0768) Operation Faxback Doc. # 32287 TELEPHONE OPERATION Use the telephone as you would any other to make and answer a call. This section explains how to use your TAD-1006's special telephone features USING REDIAL To redial the last number dialed, lift the handset. When you hear the dial tone, press REDIAL. The phone automatically dials the last number dialed. NOTE: The TAD-1006's redial memory holds up to 32 digits so you can redial long-distance as well as local phone numbers. USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE If you have pulse service and TONE-PULSE is set to PULSE, you can temporarily switch to sending tones for banking services or computer transactions. Dial the number as usual, then simply press * at the appropriate place in the call to change to tone dialing. The phone automatically returns to pulse dialing when you end the call. USING MEMORY DIALING The TAD-1006 has two types of memory - priority and standard - that let you store and easily dial up to 13 numbers. You can store up to 3 numbers in priority memory and dial them at the press of a single button. You can store up to 10 numbers in standard memory and dial those numbers at the press of just two buttons. NOTE: Each phone number stored in either memory can be up to 16 digits long. Storing a Number in Memory NOTE: It is not unusual to hear beeping/buzzing or the operator's voice on the line as you store a number in the TAD-1006's memory. 1. Press STORE. 2. Enter the number you want to store (up to 16 digits). NOTES: You can store phone numbers or special banking or telephone service numbers (such as access codes or account numbers) in memory. For security purposes, we recommend that you do not store private numbers, such as personal identification numbers or passwords, in memory. If you have pulse service and want to use tone dialing, enter * at the appropriate place in the sequence of numbers. To store one or more pauses in the memory number, see "Storing a Pause in Memory", below. 3. Press STORE again. 4. To store the number in a priority memory location, press a priority memory dial key (P1, P2, or P3) to store the number in that location. To store the number in a standard memory location, press a number key (0-9) to store the number in that location. To store additional numbers, repeat Steps 1-4 for each number you want to store. NOTES: You cannot erase a number in memory, but you can change it by storing a new one in its place. Write the memory location number and name associated with that number on the TAD-1006's memory dialing card. (Use pencil in case you want to change it later.) To use the card, grasp and gently pull the tab on the front of the TAD-1006. Storing a Pause in Memory In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the access code with the phone number: however, you must also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect. To add one or more 2-second pauses to a phone number you are storing in memory, press REDIAL at each point where a pause is needed. NOTE: Each pause entry counts as one memory digit in the stored number. Dialing a Stored Number To dial a number stored in a priority memory location, simply press that number's priority memory dial key (P1, P2, or P3). To dial a number stored in a standard memory location, press MEM then the desired memory number (0-9). TAD PREPARATION Complete the procedures in this section before you begin using the TAD to answer calls. NOTES: The keypad is located under the cover on the front of the TAD-1006. Lift the cover to access the keys. Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, be sure the TAD is turned on (see "Turning the TAD On/Off", below). TURNING THE TAD ON/OFF To turn on the TAD, press ON/OFF so the ANSWER indicator turns on. To turn off the TAD, press ON/OFF again so the ANSWER indicator turns off. NOTES: Once you turn on the TAD, it is set to answer calls (see "Setting the TAD to Answer/Not Answer Calls", on Faxback Doc. # 33816). You can also turn on the TAD remotely (see "Remote Answer-On", on Faxback Doc. # 33811). SETTING THE DAY AND TIME You must set the current day and time so the TAD will record the day and time on each incoming message, memo, and 2-way conversation it records. NOTES: In steps 2-6, you must enter your selection within 7 seconds after the TAD finishes saying the instructions. Otherwise, the TAD beeps three times then exits the program mode. If this happens, start over again at Step 1. 1. Press DELETE/PROG. The TAD beeps once. 2. Press 1/TIME. The TAD says, "Press one for Monday, two, for Tuesday, three for Wednesday, four for Thursday, five for Friday, six for Saturday, seven for Sunday." 3. Press a number button to set the day of the week. The TAD says the day of week and, "Enter the time." 4. Press two digits for the hour. The TAD says the hour. NOTE: If you make an invalid entry (for example, 66), the TAD does not respond. Make a correct entry within 7 seconds. 6. Press 1 or 2. The TAD says, "AM or, PM," then the current day and time. To hear the current day of the week and time at any time, press 1/TIME. SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS The TAD is preset to sound four rings before it answers the first call. Follow these steps to change the number of rings (from 1-9). NOTES: If you plan to check your messages by long distance, be sure the number of rings is set to at least three to avoid unnecessary long distance charges when you call to check your messages (see "Using the Toll-Saver" on Faxback Doc. # 33811). In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter your selection within 7 seconds. Otherwise, the TAD beeps three times then exits the programming mode. If this happens, start over again at Step 1. 1. Press DELETE/PROG. The TAD beeps once. 2. Press 3/RING. The TAD beeps once. 3. Enter the desired number of rings (up to 9) using the small keypad on the TAD. The TAD repeats the number, then beeps twice. RECORDING ANNOUNCEMENTS Recording the Outgoing Announcement The TAD has a built-in outgoing announcement that says "Please leave your message after the tone." You can record a different announcement (up to 1 minute long) for the caller to hear when the TAD answers a call. Important Hints: We recommend you write down your announcement before recording it. If you plan to record caller's messages, ask for the caller's name, phone number, and message. For your security, do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now. Follow these steps to record your outgoing announcement. 1. Press and hold OGM (outgoing message) until the TAD beeps and the ANSWER indicator flashes. 2. Release OGM and record your announcement (at least 2 seconds, but no more than 1 minute long). Speak toward the front of the TAD-1006 from about 12 inches away. NOTE: Be sure the outgoing message you record is at least 2 seconds long, otherwise the TAD might not operate properly. 3. When you finish speaking, press ON/OFF. The TAD beeps once, the announcement plays, then the ANSWER indicator stops flashing and the TAD beeps once more. NOTES: If you do not press ON/OFF, the TAD automatically stops recording after 1 minute then plays the announcement you recorded. To change the outgoing announcement you can repeat these steps to record over the current one, or delete the current one so the TAD uses its built-in outgoing announcement (see "Checking/Deleting the Outgoing Announcement", below). Checking/Deleting the Outgoing Announcement You can press OGM at any time to play the outgoing announcement. Adjust VOLUME on the side of the TAD to a comfortable listening level. To stop listening to the outgoing announcement before it ends press ON/OFF. To delete your recorded outgoing announcement, press DELETE/PROG while it is playing. The TAD beeps twice and is then set to use its built-in announcement. Recording the Memory Full Announcement The TAD has a built-in memory full announcement. When the memory becomes full and the TAD can no longer record messages, the ANSWER, PLAY, and MEMO indicators flash, and the TAD announces "Memory is full." Follow these steps if you want to record your own memory full announcement (up to 1 minute long). 1. Press and hold 4/OGM2 until the TAD beeps and the ANSWER indicator flashes. 2. Speak toward the front of the TAD-1006 in a strong voice from about 12 inches away. 3. Press ON/OFF when you finish recording the announcement. The TAD plays the current memory full announcement. NOTE: If you do not press ON/OFF, the TAD automatically stops recording after 1 minute then plays the announcement you recorded. Checking/Deleting the Memory Full Announcement You can press 4/OGM2 at any time to play the memory full announcement. Adjust VOLUME on the side of the TAD to a comfortable listening level. To stop listening to the memory full announcement, before it ends, press ON/OFF. To delete your recorded memory full announcement, press DELETE/PROG while it is playing. The TAD beeps twice and is then set to use its built-in announcement. (EB/LB 07/02/96)
