RECORDING MESSAGES

The Outgoing Message (OGM)

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing
message the caller will hear when the TAD answers a call.

After you install the cassette tape, follow these steps to record the out-
going message.

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

2.  Record your message.  Speak in a loud, clear voice from about 16
    inches away from the microphone.

CAUTION:  To help protect your home or office from theft, do
          not record a message that inform callers you are away
          Instead, simply state that you cannot answer the phone.

NOTES:    Your message records on the built-in IC chip.  The
          maximum outgoing message time is 16 seconds.  The tape
          remains still.

          In your message, ask for the caller's name, phone number
          and a message.

3.  When you finish recording, press STOP/ERASE.  The TAD announces the
    outgoing message so you can verify it.

4.  While the message plays, adjust MIN-VOLUME-MAX to the desired volume
    level.

5.  Close the cassette compartment door.

After the TAD announces the outgoing message, it rewinds the tape, then
records it as a back-up copy on the tape.

NOTES:    You do not hear the message as it is being recorded.
          The TAD uses this backup copy in case the power fails.

After the TAD records the outgoing message on tape, the MESSAGE indicator
lights steadily and the TAD is set to answer messages.

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

To change the outgoing message, repeat Step 1-4.

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

A Personal Memo

Follow these steps to record a personal memo as a reminder for yourself or
a message for someone in your home or office.

1.  Press and release MEMO/2WAY.  The TAD beeps and the MESSAGE indicator
    lights.

2.  Begin recording the message.  Speak in a loud voice from about 16
    inches away from the microphone.  The message can be up to 2 minutes
    long.

3.  When you finish speaking, press STOP/ERASE.

The TAD plays the memo when you play back the phone messages.

TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS

You can record both sides of a phone conversation from any phone connected
to the same phone line as the TAD.

NOTE:  Federal, state, and local laws and telephone tariffs
       regulate the use of recording devices to record telephone
       conversations.  Some state and local laws and telephone
       tariffs require you to have the consent of all parties to
       the phone conversation before you record the conversation.

Check federal laws, your state and local laws, and telephone tariffs for
applicable requirements.

Follow these steps to record during a phone conversation:

1.  Set MINI-VOLUME-MAX to its lowest setting.

2.  Press and hold down MEMO/2WAY.  After about 2 seconds, the TAD
    beeps and the MESSAGE indicator lights.

3.  Release MEMO/2WAY.

To stop recording, press STOP/ERASE.  Return MIN-VOLUME-MAX to its
previous position.

SETTING THE ANSWER MODE

To Not Answer Calls

After you record the outgoing message, the TAD's answer mode automatically
sets to on.

If you do not want the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER ON/OFF so the
MESSAGE indicator turns off.  The TAD's answer mode sets to off and the
TAD does not answer calls.

TO ANSWER CALLS

If you want the TAD to answer calls again after setting the answer mode
to off, press and release ANSWER ON/OFF so the MESSAGE indicator lights.
The TAD beeps once and plays the outgoing message, then sets the answer to
mode on.

NOTE:  If the TAD beeps 3 times after you set it to answer, check
       to see if you recorded an outgoing message.

SCREENING CALLS

Using the Normal Call Screening

To screen your calls, let the TAD answer all calls.  You can listen to the
caller's message through the TAD's speaker.

USING CALL SCREEN PLUS

If you want to set the TAD to record all incoming calls but want to answer
calls from a certain caller, give the caller your call screen plus code.
When the caller enters the call screen plus code, the TAD continuously
alerts you with a pattern of two beeps and a pause.

If you do not answer the call after about 1 minute, the TAD hangs up.

The call screen plus code is factory preset to 456.

To answer the call:

  If you connected a phone to the TAD, pick up the handset and
  press STOP/ERASE.  The TAD stops recording and you talk to
  the caller.

  Pick up the handset of any other phone on the same phone
  line.  If you have tone service, press * on the phone.  IF
  you do not have tone service, set your phone's TONE/PULSE
  switch to TONE, then press *.  The TAD stops recording (or
  alerting you) and you can talk to the caller.

PLAYING/ERASING THE INCOMING MESSAGES

Playing the Messages

If there are any phone or memo messages recorded on the TAD, the MESSAGE
indicator blinks and then pauses.  The number of blinks between pauses
(maximum of 15) indicates the number of recorded messages. If the tape is
full, the MESSAGE indicator continuously blinks.

To play back messages, press PLAY.  The TAD plays all the messages. 
Adjust MIN-VOLUME-MAX to the desired sound level.

During play, press and hold down PLAY to fast-forward or MEMO/2WAY to
rewind the tape.  After each message, the TAD announces the day and time
the call was received.  After the last message plays, the TAD sounds two
short beeps and stops.  The MESSAGE indicator continues to blink to show
the TAD is saving the messages.

NOTE:  The TAD automatically saves new messages at the end of
       previous messages until you set it to record new messages
       over the old ones.

To pause the tape while playing a message, press STOP/ERASE.  The TAD
beeps twice and the tape pauses up to a maximum of 3 minutes.

During pause, press STOP/ERASE again to fast-forward to the end of the
last message or PLAY to resume playing the current message.

NOTE:  If you do not resume play within 3 minutes, the TAD
       automatically fast-forwards the tape to the end of the
       last message.

ERASING THE MESSAGES

CAUTION:  Do not erase messages before you have heard all of them.

When you are ready to erase your message, press and hold down STOP/ERASE
until the TAD beeps.  The tape rewinds to the beginning.  New messages
record over the old ones.

CHANGING THE CALL SCREEN PLUS AND REMOTE SECURITY CODES

The call screen plus code is factory preset to 456.  The remote security
code is factory preset to 789.  For the best protection, we recommend you
change the codes.

1.  Dial your phone number.

When the TAD's answer mode is set to on, you phone rings 2 to 4 times,
the TAD answers and the outgoing message plays.

If the TAD's answer mode is set to off, your phone rings for about 55
seconds, then the TAD beeps twice.

2.  Enter the remote security code.  The TAD beeps once to verify that you
    entered the correct remote security code, incoming message recording
    stops, and the TAD waits for your remote control command entry.

3.  After the beep, press # and 1 to change the remote security code or #
    and 2 to change the call screen plus code.

4.  Enter a new three-digit code.

5.  Press #.  The TAD beeps again.

RESETTING THE TAD TO THE FACTORY PRESET CODES

If you changed either the call screen plus or remote security code and
forgot the new code, press and hold down STOP/ERASE and OGM at the same
time until the TAD sounds a long beep.  The codes reset to the factory
preset numbers, 456 for the call screen plus code and 789 for the remote
security code.
