TAD PREPARATION

SETTING THE CPC

SWITCH

CPC

(Calling Party Control) on the

back of the base is set to

MAX

at the

factory

.

If your TAD often records tele-

phone company messages, dial tones,

and so on, set

CPC

to

MIN

.

Note

:

Call waiting, a service offered by

most telephone companies, uses sig-

nals identical to CPC signals. If you

have this service, you should leave

CPC

set to

MAX

. Otherwise, if the an-

swering machine receives a second

call while the first caller is leaving a

message, the answering machine

might hang up during the first caller’s

message.

RECORDING AN

OUTGOING

ANNOUNCEMENT

Before you can use the TAD, you must

record the outgoing announcement

that the caller hears when the TAD an-

swers a call. You can record the outgo-

ing announcement from either the

base or the handset, and your an-

nouncement can be up to 21 seconds

long.

You can also set the TAD so it plays an

announcement but does not record a

message.

See “Setting the TAD to the

Announce Only Mode” on Page 26.

Important:

To help protect your home

or office from theft, we recommend you

do not tell callers that you are away. In-

stead, say that you cannot come to the

phone.

Notes:

• When you record an outgoing

announcement, you should ask

for the caller’s name, phone num-

ber, and a message.

• When you set the TAD to the

announce only mode, we recom-

mend you make it clear in the

announcement that the caller can-

not leave a message.

• When you record an outgoing

announcement, the TAD records a

backup copy of it on the incoming

message tape. When power is

restored after a power failure, the

TAD automatically retrieves the

outgoing announcement from the

message tape and re-records it

into digital memory.
