After recording its first call, the TAD answers after 2 rings. NOTE: 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"). 1.

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 callers' messages, ask for the 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. The TAD can receive and save messages for up to four different users. If you set the TAD to do this (see "Using the Mailbox Feature"), your 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: 1 to leave a message for John, 2 to leave a message for Mary, 3 to leave a message for Susan, 4 to leave a message for Paul, 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 1; for Manufacturing, press 2; for Customer Service, press 3; for Delivery, press 4. Or, you can leave a message after the beep." Follow these steps to record your outgoing announcement. 1. Press and hold OGM (outgoing message) until the answer indicator starts flashing. 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 and plays the announcement. The answer indicator stops flashing. After the announcement plays, the TAD is ready to answer and record incoming messages. Checking the Outgoing Announcement You can press OGM at any time to play the 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 the outgoing announcement, press PGM/DEL while the TAD is playing it. The display shows dL (delete). 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 TAD announces "The memory is full." Follow these steps if you want to record your own memory full announcement. NOTE: The maximum recording time for the memory full announcement is preset to 1 minute, but you can change it to 3 minutes. 1. Press and hold OGM and 1M/3M at the same time until the answer 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 the Memory Full Announcement To listen to your own memory full announcement, press OGM, then press 1M/3M immediately. If you want to stop listening to the memory full announcement before it ends, press ON/OFF. The TAD beeps three times. (PH 11/28/95)
