FEATURES
Your TAD-795 Digital Telephone Answering System is a sophisticated, fully
digital message center that records
messages for up to four different users.
The caller can choose to l eave a message for a specific person or department.
The TAD (telephone answering device)
stores all messages on a computer chip.
This gives you advanced capabilities
over tape-based answering machines.
For example, you can delete an individual message while saving the rest. Because your TAD is fully digital, there are
no tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
The TAD-795 has these features:
Four User Mailboxes
— let you store
and play back mess ages (up to 60 seconds each) for up to four different users.
Hi
h Capacit
— lets you record up to
48 minutes of messages and memos.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Your TAD-795 conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
that you connect to the phone line draws
power from the line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s
alence
shown on the label on the bottom of your
TAD.
If you are using more than one device
on the line, add up all t he RENs. 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 devices from the line.

FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC registration number and the
REN to your phone company. Both numbers appear on the bottom of your TAD.
Note:
You must not connect your TAD
to:
• coin-operated syst e ms
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
This device compiles with Part 15 of
FCC Rules
following two conditions:
• This device may n ot cause harmful
interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
. Operation is subject to the

PREPARATION
Select a location for the T AD that is near
a modular telephone line jack and an AC
outlet, and is not in the way of normal
activitie s.
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
Follow these steps to con nect your TAD
to the telephone line and phone.
PHONE
Jack
1. Unplug the telephone’s modular
cord from the modular phone line
jack and plug it into the
on the back of the TAD.
2. Plug one end of t he supplied modular cord into the
back of the TAD.
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.

INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
If AC power fails or you unplug the TAD,
a 9V backup battery (not supplied)
saves the message groups, message
counts, and the settings for the day,
time, and security code. We recommend
you use an alkal ine battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
Caution:

type.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the screw on the battery compartment cover, then remove the cover.
Replace the battery when
Cautions:
• Before you replace the battery, be
sure the TAD is properly connected
to AC power. Otherwise, you might
lose any stored information.
• Always remove old or weak b atter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of the old battery promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury it.
Lo
appears.
SETTING THE DAY AND
TIME
To avoid losing the day and time settings
if AC power fails, we recommend you install a backup battery before you s et t he
day and time (see “Installing a Backup
Battery”).
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to
the battery connector and place the
battery into the compartment.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with
the screw.
Follow these steps so the TAD can
record the correct day and time each
message and memo is recorded.
Note
: If you do not com plete each step
within 8 seconds, the TAD sounds four
beeps and exits setup. Start again at

RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before the TAD-795 can answer calls
and record messages, you must record
an outgoing message (OGM). The TAD
lets you record two s eparate messages
of up to 32 seconds eac h, and it operates differently based on which message you select.
• OGM 1 – Aft er playing your outgoing message, the TAD records the
caller’s message.
• OGM 2 (announce-onl y) – The TAD
plays your outgoing message, but
does not record a message.
If you plan to use the TAD’s
announce-only feature, OGM 2
should clearly state that the caller
cannot leave a message.
The TAD-795 lets you store messages
for up to four different users. It normally
records messages in mailbox 1, but a
caller can choose a different mailbox by
pressing
outgoing message. B e sure your ou tgoing message tells the caller how to
record a message for the desired mailbox.
Hint:

you cannot come to the phone right now.

RECORDING
When the TAD is set to answer calls using OGM 1, it plays the outgoing message, then beeps. The caller can then
record a message up to 60 seconds
long.
The TAD normally records messages in
mailbox 1, but callers can record to a
specific mailbox by pressing
number (1–4) after the outgoing message.
When a recording reaches 55 seconds,
the TAD beeps to notify the caller that
time will soon be up. At 60 seconds , the
TAD sounds a long beep and four short
beeps, says “Thank you for your call,”
and hangs up.
The TAD stops recording and resets to

Notes:
• The maximum recordi ng capacity is
48 minutes or 59 messages.
• Many local phone companies use
calling party control (CPC) to signal
that the caller has hung up. Your
TAD recognizes a CPC signal and
releases the line. If the TAD records
phone company messages or dial
tones, your local phone company
probably does not use CPC.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer
them, then listen to the caller’s message
through the TAD’s speaker. To adjust the
volume, slide

USING CALL
BREAKTHROUGH
If you screen your calls but want to know
when calls come in from certain people,

When a caller enters the CBT code during the outgoing message, the TAD
alerts you with a series of loud beeps for
35 seconds. To answer the call, p ick up
the handset. If you do not answer, the
caller can leave a message after the
outgoing message plays.

Note
TAD from another phone on the same
line as your TAD-795.
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 messages, 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.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
remo tely.
1. Dial your phone number.
2. When the TAD answers, enter your
remote operation security code. The
TAD beeps once to confirm that you
entered the correct code.

• If you do not enter each digit of
the security code within 8 seconds, the TAD hangs up.
• Even if the TAD is not set to an-
swer calls, it will answer after
about 9 rings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack TAD-795 Digital Telephone Answering System is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your TAD-795 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the TAD-795 dry . If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the TAD-795 on ly in no rmal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD-795 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of par ts.
Handle the TAD-795 gently and carefully. Dropping it can da mag e circuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-795 to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your TAD-795’s electronic parts.
Wipe the TAD-795 wi th a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the TAD-795.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-795’s internal components can cause a m alfunction and might invalidate your TAD-795’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your TAD-795 is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store f or assistance. If the trouble is affecting th e telephone lines, the
phone company can ask you to disconnect your TAD-795 until you have resolved the
problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporaril y disconnect your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance no tice is not practi cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of your TAD. The phone company notifies you of these changes in
advance, so you can take steps t o prevent interruption of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in phone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line 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 your TAD during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
