FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-77 9 Digital Tele­phone Answering System is a high­quality telephone answering device
(TAD) that you can also control remotely
from any touch-tone phone. With an op­tional pocket tone dialer, you can even
use it from a rotary phone.

The TAD-779 stores messages on a
computer chip. This gives you advanced
capabilities over tape-based answering
machines. For example, you can delet e
an individual message b y using remote
commands. Because your TAD is fully
digital, there are no tapes to bother with
and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

The TAD-779’s 16-minute capacity lets
you store a lot of messages. And its
unique, space-saving design makes it
ideal for any office or nightstand.

The TAD-779 has these features:

Di

ital Message Storage

— lets you
record up to 16 minutes of messages
and memos. Each incoming message
can be up to 60 seconds long.

Phone Pick-Up Detection

— stops re­cording when you pick up any ph one on
the same line as the TAD.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION

Your TAD-779 conforms to federal regu­lations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
you connect to the phone line draws
power from the phone line. We refer to
this power draw as the device’s

equivalence number

, or REN. The REN

is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.
If you are using more than one device

on the line, add up all the RE Ns. If the
total is more than five, your phone might
not ring and your TAD might not answer.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer opera­tion is impaired, remove one of the de­vice s from the li n e .

PREPARATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location for the TAD that is near
a modular telephone line jack and an AC
outlet, and is not in the way of normal
activitie s.

INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY

If the AC power fails or you unpl ug the
TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied)
saves the messages and the settings for
the day, time, and rem ote operation se­curity code. We recommend you u se an
alkaline battery, such as RadioShack

the battery connector and place the
battery in the compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

Replace the battery when the
indicator flashes.

Cautions:

• Always remove an old o r weak bat­tery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.

• Dispose of the old battery promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn it.

• To avoid losing stored information,
be sure the AC adapter is plugged in
and connected to the TAD before
you replace the battery.

ANSWER

CONNECTING THE TAD

Notes:

• Your TAD connects directly to a
modular phone line jack. If your line
jack is not modular, you can update
it yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update it for you.

or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket
tone dialer to enter your remote opera­tion security code and do any of the fol­lowing:

• set the TAD to or not answer calls

• listen to your messages

• record a new outgoing message

• delete messages

TAD from another phone on the same
line as your TAD-779.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll ­saver) (see “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 9), the TAD answers af­ter two rings if you have new messages.
If there are no new mes sages, the TAD
waits for four rings before it answers.
This gives you time to hang up before
the TAD answers so you can avoid un­necessary long-distance charges.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack TAD-779 Digital T elephone Answering Syst em is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
the TAD-779 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the TAD-779 dry. If it gets w et, wipe it dry i mmediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the TAD-779 only in normal t emp erature env iron men ts.
Temperature extremes can shorten t he life of elect ronic devices , dam ­age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the TAD-779 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the TAD-779 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.

Use only a fresh battery of the required size and type. Batteries can leak
chemicals that damage your TAD-779’s electronic parts.

Wipe the TAD-779 with a damp cloth occasionally t o keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the TAD.

Modifying or tampering with the T AD-779’s internal components can cause a mal­function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your TAD-779 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra­dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone
company can ask you to disconnect your TAD until you have resolved the problem.

16

43-779 .fm Page 17 Monda y, August 16, 1999 7:34 AM

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely ev ent that your TAD-779
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company c an temporarily
discontinue your service. If this hap­pens, the telephone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance n o­tice is not practical, the telepho ne com­pany notifies you as soon as possible
and advises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, opera­tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this TAD. The telephone
company notifies yo u of these changes
in advance so y ou can take the neces­sary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone services.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-779 has built-in protection cir­cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed the FCC requirements. How­ever, lightning striking the telephone or
power lines can damage your TAD.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev­ertheless, if you live in an a rea that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the TAD-779 during
storms to reduce the possib ility of dam­age.
