FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-1029 Digital An-

swering System uses advanced cord-

less telephone technology to give you

superior audio quality. Its cordless oper-

ation lets you move freely around your

home or office.

The TAD-1029 stores all messages on a

computer chip. This gives you better

performance than tape-based answer-

ing machines. For example, you can de-

lete an individual message while saving

the rest. Because your TAD is fully digi-

tal, there are no tapes to bother with and

no tape mechanisms to wear out.

You can operate the TAD-1029 remotely

from a touch-tone phone, even if it is not

turned on.

TAD Features

Date/Time Stamp — records the day

and time each message was recorded.

Two User Mailboxes and a Message

Center — stores messages (each up to

60 seconds long) in one of the user mail-

boxes or in the general message center.

Volume Control — lets you adjust the

volume of incoming message playback.

Pre-Recorded Message — gives you

the option of using the TAD-1029’s ex-

isting outgoing message or recording

your own (up to 60 seconds long).

Announce-Only — lets you play an an-

nouncement for callers to hear, without

recording their messages.

LED Message Counter — shows the

number of messages the TAD has re-

corded.

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.

Remote Answer-On — lets you turn on

the TAD from a remote location even

when it is not set to answer calls.

Programmable Remote Operation Se-

curity Code — you can set a two-digit

security code for remote operation.

Call Screening — lets you listen as a

caller leaves a message so you can de-

cide whether or not to answer the call.

Memo Recording — lets you leave

messages for yourself or others in your

home or office.

Adjustable Ring Number — lets you

set the TAD to answer after two or four

rings.

Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unneces-

sary long-distance charges when you

call by long distance to check your mes-

sages.
