FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-794 900 MHz
Caller ID/Call Waiting ID Cordless
Phone combines a 900 MHz cordless
telephone with a Caller ID unit and a dig­ital TAD (Telephone Answering Device).

The TAD-794’s telephone uses ad­vanced analog technology to give you
superior audio quality, while its cordless
operation lets you move freely around

our home or office.

The TAD-794’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in your area) and the
day and time o f t he call, as pr ovid ed b

our local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. And, if you have
Call Waiting with Caller ID, the TAD-794
shows you the incoming caller informa­tion, even when you are already on the
phone.

The TAD stores up to 15 minutes of
messages on a computer chip and
records the day and time each message
was recorded. This gives you advanced
capabilities over tape-based answerin
machines. For exam ple, you can delete
individual messages and save th e rest.
Because your TAD is fully digital, there
are no tapes to b other w ith and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.

And, the remo te operation feature lets

ou operate your TAD from a touch-tone
phone (or a rotary phone and pocket
tone dialer).

• out of the way of normal activities

•away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors

•away from other cordless phones

The base’s location affects the p hone’s

• If the CHAR GE indicator does no t
light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the battery pack
and AC adapter are correctly and
securely connected.

Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the con­tacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.

• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery by keeping the handset
off the base until
appears and flashes on the dis­play. Otherwise, the battery pack
loses its ability to fully recharge.

• If the battery pack becomes weak

• If the battery pack is completely dis­charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to re­set the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.

• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see “Re­placing the Battery Pack” on

CALLER ID OPERATION

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from

our phone company, the phone compa­ny sends information about the caller, as
well as the time and date, betw een the
first and second rings of every call you
receiv e.

The TAD-794 displays this information
when a call is recei ved, and it s tores up
to 30 Caller ID records for later review .
The display also shows if caller informa­tion is unavailable or if the name or num­ber is blocked by the caller (see “Ca ller
ID Messages” on Page 26).

Your RadioShack TAD-794 90 0 MHz Call er ID/Call Waiti ng ID Cordless Phone is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you
care for your TAD-794 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the TAD-794 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the TAD-794 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extrem es can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam­age battery packs, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the TAD-794 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Handle the T AD-794 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-794 to work improperly.

Use only a battery pack of the required size and recomm ended type.
Battery packs can leak chemi cals that damage your TAD-794’s elec­tronic parts.

Wipe the TAD-794 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it lookin
new. Do not use harsh chemi cals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-

ents to clean the TAD-794.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-794’s internal components can cause a malfunc­tion and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorizati on to operate it. If

our T AD-794 i s no t pe r formi ng as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for

assistance. If the trouble is aff ecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask

ou to disconnect your TAD-794 until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE
BATT ERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connect­ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 12, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack will
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6 V, 600 mAh battery pack with
a connector that fits the socket in the
battery compartment. You can order a
replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.

Install the new battery pack as de­scribed here, then charge it for about 14
hours.

Note:

To avoid losing numbers stored in
memory, install and begin charging the
new battery pack within 1 minute.

1. Press down and slide off the batter
pack compartment cover as shown.

2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.

3. Insert the new battery pack’s con­nector into the socket in the com­partment, place the battery pack into
the compartment , and refasten the
retainer strap.

4. Replace the cover.

5. To charge the battery pack, place
the handset on the base either face­up or facedow n. The C HARGE indi­cator on the base lights.

Cautions:

• You must use a replacement batter
pack of the same size and type.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon­tinue your service. I f this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance noti ce i s not pra cti­cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of

our right to file a complaint with the

FCC.
Also, the phone company can make

changes to its li nes, equipment, oper a­tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The tele­phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent in terrup­tion of your telephone service.

Your phone m ight cause TV or radi o in­terference even when it is operatin
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn

38

off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing the interfer­ence. Try to eliminate the interference
by:

•moving your phone away from the
receiver

• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that i s on a different elec trical
circuit from the rec e iver

•contacting your local RadioShack
store for help

If you cannot eliminate the i nterference,
the FCC requires that you stop usin

our phone.

Some cordless telepho nes operate on
frequencies that may cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in lightning pro­tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele­phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev­ertheless, if you live an area that has se­vere electrical storms, w e suggest that

ou unplug your phone during storm s to

reduce the possibility of damage.
