FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-733 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Tele- phone and Answering System uses ad- vanced cordless telephone technology to give you superior audio quality. Its cordless operation lets you move freely around your home or office.

The TAD-733 stores 12-minutes of mes- sages on a computer chip. This gives you better performance than 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.

You can operate the TAD-733 remotely from a touch-tone phone, even if it is not turned on.
