RECORDING YOUR OUTGOING MESSAGES (OGM)

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing
message the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.  The maximum
outgoing message time is 3 minutes.

NOTE:  Before you change your outgoing message, play the incoming
       messages; otherwise, the TAD erases all messages while you change
       the OGM

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.

Follow these steps to record the outgoing announcement.

1.  Press and hold ANNOUNCE for about 2 seconds until the message
    indicator lights steadily and you hear a long beep.

2.  Record your message.  Speak in a normal voice, about 12 to 15 inches
    from the TAD.

3.  After you finish recording, press ANNOUNCE.

4.  The TAD plays the OGM.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening
    level.

5.  After the TAD plays the OGM, the message indicator lights steadily and
    the TAD is set to answer calls.

If you want to change the outgoing message, repeat steps 1 - 4.  The new 
OGM replaces the old one.

To check the OGM, if the TAD is set to answer calls (message indicator
lights steadily), press ANNOUNCE twice.  The OGM plays and the TAD is.
automatically set to answer calls.

RECORDING INCOMING MESSAGES

To set the TAD to answer calls, press ANNOUNCE.  When the TAD answers, the
message indicator flashes, and then the TAD plays the outgoing message. 
After the loud beep, the TAD records the caller's message.  When the
caller hangs up, the TAD resets to answer the next call.

If you do not want the TAD to answer calls, press ANNOUNCE so the message
indicator turns off.

NOTES:  You cannot set the TAD to answer calls until you record an OGM. 
        If the TAD sounds an error tone when you press ANNOUNCE or
        MESSAGE, record an OGM.

        The toll saving feature saves unnecessary toll charges when you
        call by long-distance to check your messages.  If there are
        recorded messages, the TAD answers on the second ring.

        If there are no recorded messages, the TAD answers on the fourth
        ring.  Hang up before the fourth ring to avoid toll charges.

        If the message is longer than two minutes or if the caller is
        silent for more than 7 seconds, the TAD automatically stops
        recording, disconnects the call, and resets to answer the next
        call.

        If the message tape is full, the TAD answers the phone after 9
        rings and sounds 4 beeps.  You can then operate the TAD remotely
        as described in "Remote Operation."  Otherwise, the TAD
        disconnects automatically within 12 seconds.

SCREENING CALLS

If you want to screen incoming calls, let the TAD answer the call.  Adjust
VOLUME on the TAD's right side to a comfortable level.  When the caller
starts speaking, you can let the TAD record the message.

Or, to talk to the caller, pick up the handset of the phone connected to
the TAD and press MESSAGE.  The TAD stops recording when you press MESSAGE
and resets to receive the next call.

You can also answer the call on another phone on the same line as the TAD. 
If you have tone service, simply pick up the phone's handset and press *
to talk to the caller.  The TAD stops recording when you press * and
resets to receive the next call.  If you do not have tone service, set the
phone's TONE/PULSE switch to TONE, and then press *.

NOTE:  If you pick up the telephone at the same time the TAD answers, the
       TAD might not stop recording.  If this happens, simply hang up for
       a second or two and then try again.

PLAYING MESSAGES

To play back the recorded messages, press MESSAGE.  The tape rewinds and
the messages play.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.  After
it plays all the messages, the TAD sounds two short beeps and stops.  The
message indicator continues to blink to indicate that the TAD saved the
messages.  If you do not press a button, after about 12 seconds the TAD
resets for the next call.

NOTE:  The TAD automatically saves the messages until you set it to record
       new messages over the old ones.  See "Erasing Messages."

MESSAGE INDICATOR 

The message indicator shows the number of recorded messages.  For example,
if there are five recorded messages, the indicator blinks five times.  It
can blink for up to 15 message.  If the tape is full, the message
indicator blinks continuously.

USING STOP, FAST FORWARD, AND REWIND

Follow these instructions to find a specific section of the tape during
playback.

To stop the tape, press MESSAGE.  To resume playback, press ANNOUNCE.  If
you do not press a button within 3 minutes, the TAD rewinds the tape and
resets for the next call.

To fast forward the tape during playback, press and hold MESSAGE.  Release
the button to resume normal playback.

To rewind the tape during playback, press and hold ANNOUNCE.  Release the
button to resume normal playback.

ERASING MESSAGES

CAUTION:  Be sure you have played all the messages before you erase them.

          If you do not want to keep previously recorded messages, press
          and hold MESSAGE for about 2 seconds, until the TAD beeps.  The
          tape rewinds to the beginning so new messages record over the
          old ones.  The TAD resets for the next call, and the message
          indicator lights steadily.

POWER FAILURE PROTECTION

If you disconnect the TAD from the AC outlet or if a power failure occurs,
the TAD saves all messages for up to 4 hours.  As soon as power is
restored, the TAD beeps and saves all the messages on the tape.  The
message indicator flashes to indicate that the TAD has recorded messages.
