Samsung SF-3100 User Manual

3-9

If you are an SF-3100T user, 

you can turn on/off the TAM 

Mode by pressing the Answer button. Once you press 
Answer to turn TAM Mode on, 

the display briefly shows 

the time when the greeting message was recorded and 

shows countdown as the message is played back. The 

machine returns to Standby Mode after playing the 

message back. TAM appears in the right hand corner of 

the display and the Answer button lights.

You cannot place the machine in TAM Mode until you have 
recorded a greeting message. An error message will be 
displayed if you attempt to place the machine in TAM Mode 
before a message is recorded. To record TAM message, see 
“Recordng TAM Message (SF-3100T only)” on page 4-2.

Before the TAM memory becomes full, you will need to 
delete the messages that you have already listened to in order 
to make more memory available.

When you get a call, the machine answers the call with the 
TAM greeting message. The machine records the caller’s 
message. If a fax tone is sensed, the machine goes into receive 
mode. Anytime the greeting message is playing, or an 
incoming message is being recorded, you can talk to the other 
person by picking up the handset. If the memory becomes full 
while recording, your machine beeps a warning and 
disconnects the line. The machine will not function as an 
answering machine unless you erase the recorded messages.

When you want to talk to a caller with the other telephone on 
the same line while recording an incoming message (ICM), 
lift its handset and press ‘* (asterisk)’, ‘# (pound)’ and ‘* 
(asterisk)’. 

If the Message Paging feature is on, and a new message is 
recorded, the machine will dial the specified phone number to 
alert you that there is a message recorded in memory. For 
more information, see “Message Paging” on page 4-7.

If there’s a power failure while recording a caller’s message, 
it does not record.
