USING A HEADSET
You can talk on the phone with hands-
free convenience using an optional
headset that has a
3
/
32
-inch (2.5-mm)
plug. Contact your local RadioShack
store for a suitable headset.
To connect the headset, pull open the
rubber cover marked
on the side of
the handset, then insert the headset’s
plug into the jack.
With a headset connected, you can
make or answer calls as usual using the
keys on the handset.
Notes:
• Connecting a headset disconnects
the handset’s earpiece and micro-
phone.
•
VOLUME
on the handset also con-
trols the connected headset’s vol-
ume.
• If you place the handset on the base
to recharge it while the headset is
connected, be sure the handset
seats properly.
You can use a handset holder (available
from your local RadioShack store) to
hang the handset on your belt for greater
convenience.
When you finish using the headset, dis-
connect it from the handset and close
the rubber cover to protect the jack.

CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the caller, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive.
The TAD-794 displays this information
when a call is received, and it stores up
to 30 Caller ID records for later review.
The display also shows if caller informa-
tion is unavailable or if the name or num-
ber is blocked by the caller (see “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 26).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Call-
er ID, you hear a tone through the hand-
set when a call comes in, then the Caller
ID record appears. If you want to answer
the incoming call, press
FLASH
. To
resume the previous phone conversa-
tion, press
FLASH
again.
If the TAD’s Caller ID memory becomes
full, it replaces the oldest Caller ID
record with each new call.
REVIEWING CALLER ID
RECORDS
To review Caller ID records, press
CALL
ID
. The display shows the total number
of Caller ID records and the number of
new records, if any.
Note: When
is blinking, the
TAD-794 is busy recalling a record. Wait
for the blinking to stop before pressing a
button.
To scroll through the Caller ID records,
repeatedly press s or t.
The first line of the record shows the
caller’s name, and the second line
shows the caller’s phone number. If the
name or number is more than 12 char-
acters long, the first 12 characters ap-
pear, then, after about four seconds, the
rest of the name or number scrolls onto
the display.
