Features

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.
