Adjustable Ring Number — lets you
set the TAD to answer after three or five

sary charges when you call by long
distance to check your messages.

INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. How-
ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device’s
ringer equivalence num-
ber
, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base.
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-797 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security
access-protection code prevents unau-
thorized use of your phone line, it is pos-
sible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conver-
sations and/or cause interference. This
lack of privacy can occur with any cord-
less phone.
