Your TAD-1005 Multi-User Digital
Telephone Answering System is a so-
phisticated, fully digital message cen-
ter that groups recorded messages for
up to four different users. The caller
can choose to leave a message for a
specific person or department. Or, you
can record six announce-only messag-
es for callers to hear.

Fully digital means the TAD stores all
messages on a computer chip. This
gives you advanced capabilities over
tape-based answering machines. For
example, you can save individual mes-
sages while the rest are deleted. Be-
cause your TAD is fully digital, there
are no tape mechanisms to wear out
and no tapes to bother with.

The TAD’s large 60-minute memory
capacity means you can store a lot of
messages. Its remote operation fea-
tures let you use your TAD remotely
from a touch-tone phone. 

Its features include:

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

Date/Time Stamp — records the day
and time each message was recorded.

Digitally-Synthesized Voice 

guides you through operation of the
system.

Programmable Mailbox Security
Code
 — lets you set your own security
code for your private mailbox.

Announcement Only — lets you
record up to six different announce-
ments for callers to hear when you do
not record incoming messages.

LED Message Counter — shows the
number of messages the TAD has re-
corded.

Data Compression — automatically
compresses periods of silence to allow
up to 60 minutes of message storage.

Remote Operation — lets you use a
touch-tone phone (or rotary phone and
pocket tone dialer) to operate the TAD
while you are away from your home or
office.

Programmable Remote Operation
Security Code
 — lets you set your
own security code for remote opera-
tion.

Remote Answer-On — lets you call
the TAD from a remote location and
set it to answer calls.
