SETTING THE DIALING MODE

Set the TONE/PULSE to TONE if you have tone service or to PULSE if you have
pulse service.  If you are not sure which type of service you have, do this
simple test:

1.  Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

2.  Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.

3.  Press any number except 0.  If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
    tone service. If the dial tone continues, you have pulse service.

If you have pulse service, set the TONE/PULSE to PULSE.

SETTING THE DAY AND TIME

The TAD records the day and time with each memo or phone message.  Follow
these steps to set the day and time.

NOTE:  To check the day and time, press and release TIME SET to hear the
       day and time announcement.  If the TAD sounds three beeps, you need
       to set the clock.

1.  Set VOLUME to the middle position. 

2.  Open the cassette compartment cover.

3.  Press and hold down TIME SET until the TAD announces a day of the
    week, such as "Sunday."

4.  Release TIME SET.  To change the day of the week, repeatedly press
    MEMO/FF to advance through the days of the week or press PLAY/REW to
    return to a previous day.

5.  Press TIME SET to set the hour setting.  The TAD announces the hour,
    such as "Twelve AM."

    NOTE:  If you do not press MEMO/FF or PLAY/REW within 12 seconds of
           releasing TIME SET, the TAD announces the day and time.  If this
           occurs and you want to change the day and time, repeat steps 3
           and 4.

6.  To change the hour, repeatedly press MEMO/FF to advance the hours or
    PLAY/REW to return to a previous hour.

7.  Press TIME SET to set the minutes.  The TAD announces the minute
    setting, such as "oh oh."

8.  To change the minutes, repeatedly press MEMO/FF to advance the minutes
    or PLAY/REW to return to a previous minute.

9.  Press TIME SET to finish setting the day and time and to confirm the
    settings.  The TAD announces the day and time.

RECORDING AN OUTGOING MESSAGE (OGM)

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing
message (OGM) the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.  In your OGM,
ask for the caller's name, phone number, and a message.

Warning:  To help protect your home or office from theft, do not tell
callers that you are away.  Instead, say that you cannot come to the
phone.

The first time you plug in the TAD's AC power adapter, the MESSAGE
indicator flashes to show that no OGM is recorded.  Follow these steps to
record the OGM.

1.  Open the cassette compartment.

2.  Press and hold down OGM until the MESSAGE indicator lights steadily
    and the TAD beeps.

3.  Record your OGM.  Speak in a strong voice from about 16 inches away
    from the microphone.  Your OGM records on the built-in RAM chip.  The
    tape remains still.

4.  When you finish recording, press ERASE/STOP.

The TAD plays back the OGM.  Adjust VOLUME so you can hear it.  Then the
TAD records it on the tape.  (The TAD uses this back-up OGM in case the
powers fails.  For details, see "Power Failure.")  After the TAD plays the
OGM the second time, the MESSAGE indicator lights steadily and the TAD is
set to answer messages.

When the TAD answers a call, the caller hears the OGM and a beep.  After
the beep, the TAD records the caller's message.

To change the OGM, press ANSWER ON/OFF so the MESSAGE indicator turns off. 
Then repeat the above steps. 

To check the OGM, press and release OGM.  The OGM plays.
