FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-779 Digital Tele- phone Answering System is a high- quality telephone answering device (TAD) that you can also control remotely from any touch-tone phone. With an op- tional 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 delete an individual message by 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:

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

Day/Time Voice Stamp — announces the day and time that each message was recorded.

New Message Indicator — indicates that you have new messages.

Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops re- cording when you pick up any phone on the same line as the TAD.

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 Se- curity Code — lets you set your own security code for remote operation.

Digital Outgoing Message — lets you record a clear outgoing message of up to 60 seconds.

Memory Backup — protects stored messages in case of a power failure.

Adjustable Ring Selection — lets you set the TAD-779 to answer the tele- phone after four or seven rings.

Toll-Saver— lets you avoid unneces- sary long-distance charges when you call to check your messages.

Call Screening — lets you listen to in- coming calls so you can decide whether or not to answer.

Memo Recording — lets you leave messages for yourself or others in your home or office.
