SETTING THE TAD TO ANSWER CALLS

Press ANSWER to set the TAD to answer calls.  The ANSWER indicator flashes
as the TAD positions the tape.  Then the TAD says, "Answer calls, Record
messages" and the ANSWER indicator lights steadily.

NOTES:  The call counter increases by one each time the TAD answers a
        call.  The message counter increases by one each time the TAD
        records a phone message, memo, or two-way conversation.

        If you press ANSWER when the incoming message tape is full, 8
        beeps sound, and the TAD says, "End of tape."

        If you try to set the TAD to answer calls and record messages
        without loading the outgoing announcement tape, the TAD says, "No
        announcement tape."

        If the TAD is in the answer and record mode and answers when the
        incoming message tape is full, it sounds 8 beeps instead of
        playing the outgoing announcement.  Then the TAD says, "Error, End
        of tape," and waits about 7 seconds for the remote code entry.  If
        the caller does not enter the code within 7 seconds, the TAD hangs
        up.

SETTING THE TAD TO ANNOUNCE-ONLY

Set the TAD to announce-only when you do not want to record callers'
messages.

Set INCOMING MESSAGE to ANN ONLY.  Then press ANSWER.  The ANSWER
indicator flashes rapidly while the outgoing announcement tape rewinds. 
Then the TAD says, "Answer calls, Play announcement" and the ANSWER
indicator lights steadily.

If you do not want the TAD to answer calls, press STOP.  The TAD announces
the time, date, call count, and message count, and the ANSWER indicator
turn off.

SCREENING CALLS

To screen your calls, let the TAD answer all calls for you.  When the
caller begins to speak, either let the TAD record the caller's message or
pick up any phone connected to the same line as the TAD and talk to the
caller.  If you do so, the TAD resets for the next call.

NOTE:  If you pick up the phone right when the TAD answers, the TAD might
       not stop recording.  If this happens, hang up the phone and pick it
       up again.

PLAYING MESSAGES

The TAD separates messages into two groups - new and old.

The new message group contain messages you have not played.  If you reset
the TAD to answer calls without playing all of the new messages, those
messages remain part of the new message group.

The old message group includes all messages you have already played.  When
you play all of your new messages and reset the TAD to answer calls, all
of the messages become part of the old message group.

NOTES:  After you play messages, the TAD is no longer set to answer calls.
        If you want the TAD to answer calls, press ANSWER.  See "Setting
        the TAD to Answer Calls."

        If you reset the TAD to answer calls before you listen to all of
        your new messages, the TAD fast-forwards the tape to the end of
        the messages before it answers calls.  This prevents you from
        accidently recording over unplayed messages.

PLAYING NEW MESSAGES

When the ANSWER indicator flashes slowly you have at least one new
message.  If the record indicator flashes slowly, you have at least one
new recorded memo of conversation.

To play new messages, memos, and recorded conversations, press PLAY.  To 
stop playback, press STOP.

When the TAD is stopped, press RE-WIND or FAST-F to quickly rewind or
fast-forward the tape.  Then press PLAY to resume playback.  After all
the messages play, the TAD says, "End of messages."

If only the record indicator flashes and the ANSWER indicator is off,
press REWIND to rewind the tape.  Then press PLAY to play the recorded
memo or conversation.

VOICE STAMP

The voice-stamp feature helps you keep track of your messages.  At the end
of each message, the TAD announces the order of the message, if the
message is a memo or a recorded conversation, and the time, day, and date
of the recording.

USING CUE/REVIEW

As you play the messages, you can quickly move the tape past messages you
do not want to hear or rewind the tape to review a particular message. 
Press and hold down FAST-F or REWIND during playback.  Release the button
to resume normal playback.

The tape automatically stops at the beginning and end of the new messages
and at the beginning and end of the tape.

When the tape reaches the beginning of the messages or the beginning of
the tape, the TAD stops and says, "Beginning of messages" 

When the tape reaches the end of the last new message or the end of the
tape, the TAD stops and says, "End of messages" or "End of tape."

REPLAYING MESSAGES

To replay messages, press FAST-F or REWIND to position the tape as
desired.  Then press STOP to stop the tape, press PLAY to begin playback.

If you have not yet reset the TAD to answer calls, the tape stops
rewinding at the beginning of the new message group and the TAD says,
"Beginning of messages."

If you press REWIND again, the tape rewinds to the beginning and TAD says
"Beginning of tape."

When you press FAST-F, the tape fast-forwards to the end of the messages. 
The TAD says, "End of messages."

ERASING MESSAGES

You can erase messages from the incoming message tape by recording over
the old messages or by erasing the tape.

NOTE:  You must play all new messages before you can record over the
       messages.  If you try to record over the messages before you listen
       to all of them, the TAD fast-forwards the tape to the end of the
       new messages and resets to answer calls.

To record over the old messages, re-wind the tape to the beginning of the
messages you want to record over.  Then set the TAD to answer calls.

To erase messages, follow these steps:

1.  Play or fast-forward the tape to the end of the last message you want
    to erase.  Then press STOP.

2.  Press and hold down ERASE RE-WIND.  Then press REWIND.  This clears
    all messages from the incoming message tape and rewinds the tape to 
    the beginning.

RECORDING A MEMO

To record a memo for yourself or others, press MEMO.  The TAD says,
"Record memo" and a long beep sounds.  Record the memo after you hear the
beep.  Press STOP to stop recording the memo.  After you record the memo,
the TAD records the voice-stamp information and the record indicator
flashes slowly.

To play the memo see "Playing New Messages."

RECORDING A CONVERSATION

At any time during a phone conversation, you can record both sides of the
conversation.

Press 2-WAY RECORD.  Recording begins.  Press STOP to stop recording the
conversation.

The record indicator flashes after at least one conversation is recorded.

If the ANSWER indicator flashes, press PLAY to play the conversation.  If
the ANSWER indicator is off, press REWIND to rewind the incoming message
tape.  Then press PLAY to play the conversation.

WARNING:  It is illegal in some states to record a conversation without
          the consent of all parties to the conversation,  including the
          phone company.  Check the laws in your area before you use the
          two-way recording feature.

VOICE MAIL OPERATION

A voice-mail message is a special message you record on the outgoing
announcement tape in addition to the outgoing announcement.  People who
know the voice-mail security code can play the message.  For example, when
you are away, you can leave a voice-mail message that tells people where
you can reach you.

RECORDING VOICE MAIL

Follow these steps to record a voice-mail message.

1.  While the TAD is stopped, press and hold down VOICE MAIL.  When
    the VOICE MAIL indicator rapidly flashes and a short beep sounds, 
    release VOICE MAIL.  The TAD says, ""Record voice mail."

NOTE:  If you press VOICE MAIL when there is no outgoing announcement
       recorded, the TAD says, "No announcement."

2.  When the VOICE MAIL indicator lights steadily and a long beep sounds,
    speak in a normal voice about 12 inches from the TAD's microphone. 
    The message can be as long as the remaining time on the outgoing
    announcement tape.

3.  Press STOP to stop recording the message.  A long beep sounds.  The
    VOICE MAIL indicator remains on to show that voice mail is on.

NOTES:  You can record only one voice-mail message on the outgoing
        announcement tape.  If you record a new voice-mail message, you
        record over the old message.

        If the tape reaches the end before you press STOP, eight beeps
        sound, the TAD says, "Error, End of tape," the tape automatically
        stops and rewinds, and the TAD automatically turns off voice mail.
        You must begin again from Step 1 to re-record the voice-mail
        message and turn voice mail back on.

        You can also record a voice-mail message by remote.  See "Using
        Remote Control Commands" under "Remote Control Operation."

CHECKING THE VOICE-MAIL MESSAGE

To check the voice-mail message, press VOICE MAIL.  The TAD says "Play
voice mail," rewind the outgoing announcement tape, and plays the voice-
mail message.

TURNING VOICE MAIL ON OR OFF

To turn voice mail on or off, press SET when the TAD is stopped.

  If the TAD says, "Set voice mail, Voice mail on," press REWIND or FAST-F
  to set voice mail off.  The VOICE MAIL indicator turn off and the TAD
  says "Voice mail off."

  If the TAD says, "Set voice mail, Voice mail off,"  press REWIND or
  FAST-F to set voice mail on.   The VOICE MAIL indicator turns on and
  the TAD says, "Voice mail on."

  You cannot turn on voice mail unless there is a voice-mail message
  recorded on the outgoing announcement tape.

  The TAD automatically turns off voice mail when you remove the outgoing
  announcement tape.

After you set voice mail on or off, press STOP.

You can also turn voice mail on or off by remote.  See "Using Remote
Control Commands" under "Remote Control Operation."

VOICE-MAIL CODE

When you record the remote code (see "Recording the Time, Date, and Remote
Code"), the TAD also automatically records the voice-mail security code.
This code is the same as the regular remote code, except the third digit
is one larger.  For example, if the remote code is 123, the voice-mail
code is 124.

NOTE:  If the third digit of the regular remote code is 9, the third digit
       of voice-mail code is 0 and its second digit remains unchanged.
       For example, if the regular remote code is 129 the voice-mail code
       is 120.

       Give the voice-mail code to people who you want to hear your voice-
       mail message.

USING VOICE MAIL BY REMOTE

After you record a voice-mail message, you or anyone else that knows the
voice-mail security code can listen and respond to the message from a
remote phone.  Follow these steps to use voice mail from a remote phone.

1.  Dial you phone number.

    If voice mail is on, the TAD sound a short beep and plays the outgoing
    announcement.

2.  During the announcement, press *.  The TAD says, "Enter remote code."

NOTE:  If you do not correctly enter each digit of the voice-mail code
       within about 7 seconds, the outgoing announcement begins again.
       Press * and enter the correct code.  If you do not correctly enter
       the voice-mail code within three tries, the TAD begins recording a
       normal incoming message.

3.  Enter the voice-mail security code.  The TAD plays the voice-mail
    message.  After the message plays, the RAD says "Enter command." 
    Enter one of the following commands within about 7 seconds, or hang up
    the phone to end the call.

    * - press to replay the voice-mail message.  The TAD says, "Play voice

    message and plays the message.  After the message plays, the TAD says,
    "Enter command."

    # - press to record a response to the voice-mail message on the
    incoming message tape.  The TAD says, "Record message" and a long beep
    sounds.  After the beep, begin recording the message.  Hang up the 
    phone when you finish the message.  Or, if the recording time expires
    (as set by the INCOMING MESSAGE switch), the TAD beeps and hangs up.

NOTES:  If you do not enter * or # within about 7 seconds, the TAD beeps,
        says, "End of call," and hangs up.

        If you try to enter the voice-mail code when voice mail is off,
        the TAD says, "Error, Voice mail off,"  and finishes the
        announcement.

        You can still enter the regular remote code during the outgoing
        announcement for other remote control functions.  If you do not
        enter the code by the end of the announcement, the TAD records the
        call as a regular incoming message.

        If you press # when the TAD is in the announce-only mode, the TAD
        says "Errors," and waits about 7 seconds for a command.

        You can also listen to the voice-mail message by regular remote
        operation.  See "Using Remote Commands."
