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

— lets you record up to
48 minutes of messages and memos.

Dual Out
oing Messages
— you can record two outgoing messages of up to about 32 seconds each: one for when you want callers to leave a message, the other for when you wan t to play an announcement without recording callers’ messages.
Ad
ustable Ring Number
— lets you set the TAD to answer af ter t wo, four, or seven rings.
Toll-Saver
— lets you avoid unneces­sary toll charges when you call by long­distance to check your messages.
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.
Phone Pick-Up Detection
— stops re­cording when you pick up any ph one on the same line as the TAD.
Call Screenin
— lets you listen as a caller leaves a mes sage so you can de­cide whether or not to answer the call.

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.

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:

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

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.

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 Step 1.

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:

INCOMING MESSAGE 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 answer the next call when:
• the caller hangs up

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 of the TAD.
If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD stops recording and resets to answer the next call.

USING CALL BREAKTHROUGH
If you screen your calls but want to know when calls come in from certain people, give them your call breakthrough (CBT) code.
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.
Changing the CBT Code
The CBT code is preset to 648. Follow these steps to change it to a number from 500 to 999.

REMOTE OPERATION
While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone 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 answer calls
• listen to your messages
• record a new announcement
• record a memo
• delete messages
• monitor the room where the TAD is located
: You cannot remotely operate the
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.
:
Notes
• 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.
3. Enter a remote command (see “Re­mote Commands” on Page 16).
4. When you finish, simply hang up.

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.
