TAD Operation
n TAD Operation
This section describes TAD operation at the base, but you can also operate the TAD using the handset or an-
other phone while you’re away from home (see “Using Remote Commands” on Page 20).
SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD announces “The
machine is on” and the number of recorded messages appears.
To set the TAD to not answer calls, press
ON/OFF
. The TAD announces
“The machine is off” and beeps twice.
Note: Even when the TAD is set to not answer calls, it answers after 10 rings. This is handy for emergency or
unexpected calls.
INCOMING MESSAGE RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls, it plays the announcement, then beeps. The caller can then record a
message up to 3 minutes long.
When the TAD is set to not answer calls, a caller can still leave a message by pressing
#
when the TAD an-
swers. When the TAD is set to answer calls, pressing # stops the announcement and lets the caller leave a
message.
