5. Press for AM or for PM. The
TAD beeps, then announces the
time you set through the handset,
and beeps again.
Notes:
• The seconds start to count from
00 when you set AM or PM.
• If you make an error, the handset
beeps 5 times. Repeat the steps
to enter the day and time cor-
rectly.
SELECTING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD has two pre-recorded mes-
sages. One asks the caller to leave a
message (“Hello, no one is available
to take your call. Please leave your
message after the tone.”); the other is
simply an announcement and does
not let the caller leave a message
(“Hello, no one is available to take
your call.”). You can also record your
own message (see “Recording an
Outgoing Message”).
Use the REC TIME switch to select
which message you want. When you
set it to either
1 or 4 (minutes), the nor-
mal message is selected and the TAD
records each incoming message for
up to 1 or 4 minutes. When you set it
to
ANN , the announce-only message
is selected.
Recording an Outgoing
Message
You can record your own message up
to 1 minute long for the caller to hear
when the TAD answers a call. Use the
handset to record the message.
If you record an outgoing message,
the TAD plays it instead of either pre-
recorded message. Depending on the
REC TIME switch setting, either tell
callers to leave a message or state
your message as an announcement
only.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are
not home; instead, say that you can-
not come to the phone right now.
Follow these steps to record your out-
going message.
1. Press REMOTE on the handset so
the BATT LOW indicator lights
green.
2. Hold down OGM REC/8 for about 2
seconds until the TAD beeps.
Then speak your outgoing mes-
sage into the handset.
