SETTING THE CLOCK, CALENDAR, RECORD TIME, AND REMOTE CODE

After connecting the TAD to the telephone line and to AC power, follow
these steps to set the clock, calendar, record time, and remote operation
security code.

NOTES:  Record time is the total recording time available for all incoming
        messages and memos.  You can select 14 or 17 minutes.  If you
        select 14 minutes, the sound quality of messages will be slightly
        better when played back.

        If you wait more than 30 seconds to press a button while entering
        information, the TAD saves all settings you entered up to that
        point and says the time and date.  You must start again at Step 1
        to enter additional information.

1.  Press SET CODE/DATE.  The TAD says "Time of day:  Set hour" and
    announces the current setting.

2.  Press NEXT/YES to advance the hour or REPEAT to scroll backward.

3.  Press SET CODE/DATE to move to the next setting, or press STOP/NO to
    stop entering settings and save what you entered.  When the TAD tells
    you to set the minutes, month, date, day, record time, and each digit
    of the remote operation security code, press NEXT/YES or REPEAT to
    change the setting.

NOTES:  If you do not select a remote operation security code, the TAD
        uses the default, 11.

        If you press STOP/NO before trying to change both remote security
        digits, the code does not change.

4.  After you enter the last digit of the remote operation security code,
    press SET CODE/DATE.  The TAD announces the code and the set time and
    date.

To hear the current time and date, press STOP/NO when the TAD is not set
to answer calls.

RECORDING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT

Before you set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the announcement
callers will hear when the TAD answers their calls.  The announcement can
be up to one minute long.

We recommend you write down your announcement before recording it.  If you
plan to record callers' messages, ask for the caller's name, phone number,
and message.

Important Hints:

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

    Since the TAD can receive and save messages for up to four different
    users, the outgoing announcement should explain how to leave a message
    for a particular person.  For example:

    "You have reached the Jones residence.  We are unable to come to the
    phone right now, but you may press: one to leave a message for John,
    two to leave a message for Mary, three to leave a message for Susan,
    or just wait for the beep, then leave your message."

    If you are recording an announcement for a business, you might use
    "Hello!  You have reached XYZ company.  To leave a message for our
    Sales Department, press one; for Manufacturing, press two; for
    Customer Service, press three.  Or, you can leave a message after the
    beep."

Follow these steps to record your outgoing announcement.

1.  Press and hold ANNOUNCE until the TAD says, "Record announcement," and
    then beeps.

2.  Release ANNOUNCE and record your announcement.  For the clearest sound,
    speak into the microphone from about 18 inches away.  The display
    starts counting from 00 to 60 (seconds).

3.  When you finish the announcement, press STOP/NO.

NOTE:  You can record a new announcement at any time.  However, if memory
       is full, you must erase messages before recording the announcement
       (see "Erasing Messages).

CHECKING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT

To play the outgoing announcement, press and release ANNOUNCE and adjust
VOLUME on the side of the TAD.  The TAD plays the announcement.

NOTE:  If you press ANNOUNCE for more than 2 seconds, the TAD records a
       new outgoing announcement.

CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

The ANSWER switch on the TAD's left side selects how many times the phone
will ring before the TAD answers the call.  Set this switch before you set
the TAD to answer calls.

    TOL S (Toll Saver) - Use this setting when you will be calling by long-
                         distance to hear your messages.  If there are new
                         messages, the TAD answers in about two rings.  If
                         you have no new messages, the TAD waits about four
                         rings to answer.  This lets you hang up before the
                         TAD answers to avoid unnecessary fees.

  DEL (Delayed Answer) - The TAD answers in about four rings.  This gives
                         you time to answer calls before the TAD does.

IMM (Immediate Answer) - The TAD answers in about two rings.  This saves
                         the caller from having to wait several rings.
                         This setting is also useful for screening calls.

SETTING THE INCOMING MESSAGE SWITCH

Set the ICM (Incoming Message) switch on the TAD's left side before setting
the TAD to answer calls.  The ICM switch selects whether or not the TAD
will record messages, and the maximum length of the messages.

      ANN ONLY - Sets the TAD to play your outgoing announcement only,
                 without recording messages.

         2 MIN - Sets the TAD to record messages and sets the maximum
                 length of the caller's message to 2 minutes.

        30 SEC - Sets the TAD to record messages and sets the maximum
                 length of the caller's message to 30 seconds.
