SETTING THE DAY AND TIME
The TAD records the day and time of the call with each phone message.
Follow these steps to set the day and time.
NOTES: To avoid having to reset the day and time if AC power is lost, we
recommend you install a backup battery before you set the day and
time.
If you do not press a button within 8 seconds at each step, the TAD
sounds a three-tone beep and stops setting the day and time.
The day and time are not set until you complete Step 7.
1. Press and hold SET until the TAD beeps. The TAD announces, "Sunday,"
and 01 flashes on the display.
Note: If necessary, adjust VOLUME at the right side of the TAD to the
desired listening level.

repeatedly press REPEAT to move backward or SKIP to move forward until

until the desired digits appear.
7. After you set the day of the week, the hour, and the minutes, press
STOP to confirm the settings. The TAD beeps and announces the day and
time.
To check the current day/time at any time, momentarily press SET.
RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer calls, you must record the outgoing
message (OGM) the caller hears when the TAD answers a call.
NOTE: The maximum outgoing message length is 30 seconds.
Since the TAD can receive and save messages for up to four different users,
the outgoing announcement should explain how to leave a message for a
particular person. For example:
"You have reached the Jones residence. We are unable to come to the phone
right now, but you may press: 1 to leave a message for John, 2 to leave a
message for Mary, 3 to leave a message for Susan, 4 to leave a message for
Helen, or you can wait until after the beep to leave a message for John.
Please include your name and phone number in your message.
Important: Do not tell callers that you are not home. Instead, say that
you cannot come to the phone right now.
Follow these steps to record your outgoing announcement.
1. Press and hold down ANN. The TAD beeps.
NOTE: When memory is full, the TAD announces, "Memory is full," and
you cannot record the outgoing message. You must delete some
messages before you can record the outgoing message (see
"Deleting Messages," Faxback Doc. # 17566).
2. While holding down ANN, speak in a normal voice about 8 inches away
from the microphone (located on the front of the TAD). Ask for the
caller's name, phone number, and message. The display shows how much
time is left for recording.
3. When you finish recording, release ANN. The TAD automatically beeps
and repeats the outgoing message so you can verify it.
4. Adjust VOLUME at the right side of the TAD to the desired listening
level.
To play the outgoing message at any time, press and release ANN. If no
outgoing message is recorded, the TAD says "No announcement."
SETTING 2/4/TS
2/4/TS on the back of the TAD controls how long the TAD waits before it
answers a call.
2 -- The TAD answers after 2 rings.
4 -- The TAD answers after 4 rings.
TS (Toll Saver) -- If there are no new messages, the TAD answers after four
rings. If there are new messages in any mailbox, the TAD
answers after about two rings. This lets you avoid
unnecessary toll charges when calling by long-distance
to check your messages. If you hear more than two rings,
the TAD has no new messages. Hang up before the TAD
answers so you will not be charged for the call.
