Recording the Outgoing Message

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

The maximum length for your outgoing message is 30 seconds.

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

Follow these steps to record the announcement.

1.  Press and hold down ANNOUNCE until the TAD beeps once.

2.  Record your outgoing message.  Speak in a normal tone of voice,
    about 12 inches from the front of the TAD.

NOTES:  The TAD records the outgoing message on its microcassette.

        Since the TAD uses the tape as it memory, it records its own
        messages on the tape for use during operation or after a power
        failure.  Wait until the machine stops fast-forwarding,
        rewinding, and playing before pressing another button.  If you
        do not wait, the buttons have no effect.

3.  Press STOP/ERASE to end your outgoing message.  If you do not press
    STOP/ERASE within 30 seconds, the TAD automatically stops.  The TAD
    automatically replays your outgoing message.

CHECKING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE

1.  Press ANNOUNCE.  The TAD plays the outgoing message.

2.  Adjust VOLUME on the right side of the TAD.  This does not affect
    the volume of the message on the telephone line.
