Answer: The procedures below detail setting up this answering machine.
Setting the Day and Time
You must set the day and time so the TAD can record the correct day and time of each message.
- Press REMOTE on the handset so the BATT LOW indicator lights green.
- Press TIME SET/9 on the keypad. Then enter the day of the week using the number keys.

- Using the number keys, enter the hour. Precede a single-digit hour with a zero.
- Using the number keys, enter the minutes. Precede a single-digit minute with a zero.
- Press * for AM or # for PM. The TAD beeps, then announces the time you set through the handset, and beeps again.
Selecting an Outgoing Message The TAD has two pre-recorded messages. One asks the caller to leave a message ("Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave your message after the tone."); the other is simply an announcement and does not let the caller leave a message ("Hello, no one is available to take your call."). You can also record your own message. Use the REC TIME switch to select which message you want. When you set it to either 1 or 4 (minutes), the normal message is selected and the TAD records each incoming message for up to 1 or 4 minutes. When you set it to ANN, the announce-only message is selected. Recording an Outgoing Message You can record your own message up to 1 minute for the caller to hear when the TAD answers a call. Use the handset to record the message. If you record an outgoing message, the TAD plays it instead of either pre-recorded message. Depending on the REC TIME switch setting, either tell callers to leave a message or state your message as an announcement only.
Recording Your Outgoing Message
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not home; instead, say that you cannot come to the telephone right now.
- Press REMOTE on the handset so the BATT LOW indicator lights green.
- Hold down OGM REC/8 for about 2 seconds until the TAD beeps.
- Speak your outgoing message into the handset.
- When you finish your message, press STOP/7.
- The TAD beeps, plays back the message, then beeps again.
Note: If your message is less than 2 seconds, the TAD does not recognize it as a new message, and plays back the previous pre-recorded message. Re-record your message and make sure it is longer than 2 seconds. To delete your personal message and use the pre-recorded messages again, hold down OGM REC/8 for about 2 seconds until the TAD beeps. Then, within 2 seconds, press STOP/7.
