TAD-1009 Digital Telephone Answering System
(430-0781)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 34682

Complete the procedures in this section before you set the TAD to answer
calls.

NOTES:  The keypad is located under the cover on the front of the TAD. 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, simply press ON/OFF so ON LINE turns on.

To turn the TAD off, press ON/OFF again so ON LINE turns off.

NOTES:  Once you turn the TAD on, it is set to answer calls (see "Setting
        the TAD to Answer/Not Answer Calls", on Faxback Doc. # 34864).

        You can also turn the TAD on remotely (see "Remote Answer-On", on
        Faxback Doc. # 34134).

SETTING THE DAY AND TIME

You must set the current day and time so the TAD will record the day and
time (date stamp) on each memo, incoming message, and 2-way conversation
it records.

NOTES:  If you do not set the date and time, the TAD will not record a date
        stamp.

        In Steps 2-6, you must enter your selection within 7 seconds after
        the TAD finishes saying the instruction.  Otherwise, the TAD beeps
        three times, then exits the program mode.  If this happens, start
        over again at Step 1.

1.  Press PGM/DEL.  The TAD beeps once.

2.  Press 1/TIME.  The TAD says "Press one for Monday.  Press two for
    Tuesday.  Press Three for Wednesday.  Press four for Thursday.  Press
    five for Friday.  Press six for Saturday.  Press seven for Sunday."

3.  Press a number button to set the day of the week.  The TAD says the day
    of the 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, 00 or 13), the TAD
           beeps three times and repeats "Enter the time."

5.  Press two digits for the minute.  The TAD says the minute and "Press
    one for AM, two for PM."

    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 the current day and time.

To hear the current day of the week and time at any time, press TIME.

SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

The TAD is preset to sound 4 rings before it answers the first call. Follow
these steps to change the number of rings (from 2-9).

NOTES:  If you plan to check your messages by long distance, set the number
        of rings to at least four to avoid unnecessary long distance charges
        when you call by remote to check your messages (see "Using the Toll
        Saver", on Faxback Doc. # 34134).

        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 PGM/DEL.  The TAD beeps once.

2.  Press 3/RING.  The TAD beeps once.

3.  Enter the number of rings you want (up to 9).  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 another announcement for the caller to hear when the TAD
answers a call.  The announcement can be up to 1 minute long.

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.

    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 ON
    LINE indicator flashes.

2.  Release OGM and record your announcement.  Speak into the TAD from
    about 12 inches away.

    NOTE:  The outgoing message must be at least 2 seconds long for proper
           remote operation.

3.  When you finish speaking, press ON/OFF.  The TAD beeps once, the
    announcement plays, then the ON LINE indicator stops flashing and the
    TAD beeps once more.

    NOTE:  To change the outgoing announcement, you can repeat these steps
           to record over the current one, or delete the current one so the
           TAD once again 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 PGM/DEL while the TAD
is playing it.  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 ON LINE, PLAY, and MEMO
indicators flash, and the TAD announces to the caller "The memory is full."

Follow these steps if you want to record your own memory full announcement
(up to 1 minute in length).

1.  Press and hold 4/OGM2 until the TAD beeps and the ON LINE indicator
    flashes.

2.  Speak into the TAD 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.

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 PGM/DEL while the
TAD is playing it.  The TAD beeps twice and is then set to use its built-in
announcement.
