Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answer-
ing System is a sophisticated, fully digital
message center.
Fully digital means the TAD (Telephone An-
swering Device) stores all messages on a
computer chip. This gives you advanced ca-
pabilities over tape-based answering ma-
chines. For example, you can save or delete
individual messages.
Because your TAD is fully digital, there are
no tape mechanisms to wear out and no
tapes to bother with.
The TAD has these features:
High Capacity — lets you record up to 20
minutes of messages and memos.
Voice Day/Time Stamp — records the day
and time each message was recorded.
Digitally-Synthesized Voice — guides you
through operation of many of the system’s
features.
Call Screening — lets you listen to incoming
calls so you can decide whether or not to an-
swer a call.
Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops record-
ing a caller’s message when you pick up any
phone on the same line as the TAD, so you
can talk to the caller.
Multiple Outgoing Message (OGM) Capac-
ity — lets you set the TAD to play one of two
outgoing messages then record the caller’s
message, or just play an announcement
without recording a message.
Memo Recording — lets you leave messag-
es for yourself or others in your home or of-
fice.
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 Securi-
ty Code — lets you set your own 3-digit se-
curity code for remote operation.
Remote Answer-On — lets you call the TAD
from a remote location and set it to answer
calls.
Adjustable Ring Number — you can set the
TAD to answer after two, four, or seven
rings.
Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary toll
charges when calling long-distance to check
your messages.
Selectable Incoming Message Length —
lets you set the maximum length of a caller’s
message to 1 or 5 minutes.
Memory Full Warning — lets you know
when the TAD’s memory is full.
Memory Backup — protects stored mes-
sages in case of a power failure.
Messages Indicator LED — flashes to let
you know you have new messages.
LED Message Counter — shows the num-
ber of messages the TAD recorded.
Room Monitor — lets you monitor, using a
remote phone, the room where the TAD is in-
stalled for 30 seconds.
