FEATURES

Your Radio Shack TAD-1007 Multi-User
Digital Telephone Answering System
with Day/Time Voice Stamp is a sophis-
ticated, fully digital message center that
groups recorded messages for up to four
different users. The caller can choose to
leave a message for a specific person or
department. 

The TAD stores all messages on a com-
puter chip — there are no tape mecha-
nisms to wear out and no tapes to bother
with. This gives you capabilities that
tape-based answering machines don’t
have. For example, you can delete indi-
vidual messages.

The TAD-1007’s 26-minute memory ca-
pacity lets you store more messages
than many other TADs. And, its unique,
space-saving design makes it ideal for
any office or nightstand. Your TAD’s re-
mote control features let you retrieve
messages from almost any touch-tone
phone. With an optional pocket tone di-
aler, you can even use it from a rotary
phone.

Your TAD’s features include:

Four User Mailboxes — let you store
and play back messages for up to four
different users.

Voice Time/Day Stamp — announces
the time and day when each message
was recorded.

User-Selectable 3-Digit Remote Op-
eration Security Code
 — helps pre-
vent unauthorized remote operation.

Digital Outgoing Message — gives
you a clear outgoing message.

Memory Backup — protects messages
stored in memory in case of a power
failure.

Toll Saver — lets you set the TAD to
answer after two rings if there are new
messages or four rings if there are not.
This lets you hang up before the TAD
answers to avoid charges when you call
by long-distance to check your messag-
es.

Room Monitor — lets you listen from a
remote phone to the room where you in-
stalled the TAD.
