Important: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your TAD-794. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not need AC power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and re- ceive calls if there is an AC power fail- ure.

Important Caller ID Information

To use the TAD-794’s Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID features, you must be in an area where those services are available and you must subscribe to those services through your local phone company.

Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally available:

•caller’s number only

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 dig- ital TAD (Telephone Answering Device).

The TAD-794’s telephone uses ad- vanced analog technology to give you superior audio quality, while its cordless operation lets you move freely around your 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 of the call, as provided by your 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 informa- tion, 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 answering machines. For example, you can delete individual messages and save the rest. Because your TAD is fully digital, there are no tapes to bother with and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

And, the remote operation feature lets you operate your TAD from a touch-tone phone (or a rotary phone and pocket tone dialer).
