TAD-346  (430-0703)            Preparation             Faxback Doc. # 8984

Complete the following procedures to prepare the TAD for operation.

TURNING ON THE TAD

Set MASTER POWER to ON.  The POWER indicator lights, the tape resets, and
the TAD says "Set Time, date and remote code" (if they are not already
set).

NOTE:  You must set MASTER POWER to ON to be able to set the TAD to answer
       calls from a remote phone.

SETTING THE TIME, DATE AND REMOTE CODE

Follow these steps to set the time and date for the TAD's clocks and the
code you will use for remote operation.

1.  Press SET.  The TAD says, "Set voice mail.  Voice mail off."  Press
    SET again.  The TAD says, "Time of day: Set hour" and announces the
    current TAD time.

2.  Press FAST-F or REWIND until the TAD says the correct hour for the 
    clock.  Be sure to set a.m. or p.m. correctly.

3.  Continue pressing SET, REWIND, and FAST-F, as necessary, to set the
    minutes, month, date, day, and security code.  The TAD prompts you for
    each item.

4.  After you set the third digit of the security code, press SET.  The
    TAD announces the remote security code and then automatically stops.

NOTES:  If you wait more than 30 seconds to press a button during the
        above procedure, the TAD enters the stop mode.  Repeat the
        procedure from Step 1.

        When you set the remote code, the TAD also records the voice-mail
        security code.  See "Voice-Mail Code."

After you set the time, date, and remote code, each time you press STOP
when the TAD is in the stop or answer mode, the TAD announces the time,
day, date, call count, and message count.

To change the time, date, or remote code, repeatedly press SET until the
TAD announces the item you want to change.  Then press REWIND or FAST-F to
change the setting.

RECORDING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT

Before you can set the TAD to answer calls or record a voice-mail message,
you must record the announcement that callers hear when the TAD answers
their calls.  Ask for the caller's name, phone number, and message.  We
recommend you write down you announcement before you record it.

WARNING:  Do not tell callers that you are not home.  Instead say that you
          cannot come to the phone right now.

NOTE:  The announcement can be up to 7 1/2 minutes long (with the supplied
       cassette).  However, the voice mail message also records on this
       tape.  If you plan to use voice mail, be sure the outgoing
       announcements is short enough to allow enough space for the voice-
       mail message.

Follow these steps to record you outgoing announcement.

1.  Press hold down ANNOUNCE RECORD.  The record indicator flashes, the
    outgoing announcement tape rewinds, and the TAD says "Record
    announcement."

2.  After the record indicator stops flashing and a long beep sounds,
    speak in a normal voice from about 12 inches from the microphone
    (located on the front of the TAD).

3.  When you finish speaking, press STOP.  The outgoing announcement tape
    automatically rewinds.

4.  Press ANNOUNCE RECORD.  The TAD says  "Play announcement" and plays
    the announcement.  Adjust VOLUME.

NOTES:  The VOLUME control has no effect on the TAD's synthesized voice
        announcement.

        If the tape ends before you finish recording, eight beeps sound,
        the TAD says, "Error, Announcement tape," the tape rewinds, and
        the ANSWER, record, and VOICE MAIL indicators flash.  In this
        case, press STOP.  Then begin again at Step 1.

        If there is a pause of 2 seconds or more in the announcement. the
        TAD stops at the pause during playback and rewinds the tape.  If
        this happens, re-record the announcement without the pause.

        If you reload the outgoing announcement cassette or when power is
        restored after a power failure, the outgoing announcement
        automatically plays.  If there is nothing recorded on the tape,
        the TAD says, " No announcement.

SETTING THE ANSWER SWITCH

The ANSWER switch controls how long the TAD waits before it answers a
call.  Set the switch as follows:

IMM (Immediate Answer) - The TAD answers a call with in about two rings. 
This reduces the time callers have to wait for the TAD to answer.

DEL (Delayed Answer)  The TAD answers a call after about four rings.  This
gives you time to answer a call before the TAD answers,

TOL S (Toll Saver) - Use this setting if you will call by long-distance to
play your messages.  If there are no messages or you have already heard
the messages with voice-mail off, the TAD answers after about four rings. 
Otherwise, the TAD answers after about two rings.  This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance
charges.

NOTE:  The toll saver setting does not count recorded memos or telephone
       conversations as new messages.

SETTING THE INCOMING MESSAGE SWITCH

The INCOMING MESSAGE switch determines whether the caller can leave a
message and, if so, the maximum length of the message.

ANN ONLY - Use this setting if you want the TAD to play the outgoing
announcement without recording callers' messages.  This setting is ideal
for announcing the date and time of an upcoming event or other special
information.

Be sure the outgoing announcement makes it clear that the caller cannot
leave a message.

NOTE:  You can still record memos and conversations with the setting. 
       However, you must select another setting to play the memo or
       conversation.

    30 SEC - limits each incoming message to 30 seconds.

    3 MIN - limits each incoming message to 3 minutes.

NOTE:  The INCOMING MESSAGE setting does not affect voice mail.
