Radio Shack TAD-794 owner manual Using Flash, Memory Dialing, Using Tone Services on a Pulse Line

USING FLASH

FLASH performs the electronic equiva- lent of a switchhook operation for spe- cial services, such as Call Waiting.

For example, if you have Call Waiting, press FLASH to answer an incoming call without disconnecting the current call. Press FLASH again to return to the first call.

Note: If you do not have any special phone services, pressing FLASH might disconnect the current call.

3.When the service answers, press TONE (). Any additional numbers you dial are sent as tone signals.

4.After you complete the call, return the handset to the base or press TALK. The phone automatically re- sets to the pulse mode.

Note: When you dial a number without talk displayed, you can enter TONE () as part of the number (the display shows ). When you press TALK, the phone automatically adds a 1-second pause af- ter the tone entry, allowing time for the service to answer (for example).

If you have misplaced the handset and want it to beep for more than 2 seconds (to give you time to find it), press FIND. The handset beeps for about 1 minute. Press TALK twice on the handset to si- lence the beep sooner.

MEMORY DIALING

You can store up to 20 phone numbers and names in memory, then dial a stored number by entering a two-digit memory location number.

Each number can be up to 16 digits, and each name can be up to 12 characters.

3.Press 1 to store a new number.

PHONE NO.? appears.

4.Enter the number and any tone or pause entries (see “Using Tone Ser- vices on a Pulse Line” on Page 20 and “Entering a Pause” on Page 23).

Note: Each tone or pause entry us- es one digit of memory.

5.Press MEM. NAME? appears.

USING TONE SERVICES ON A PULSE LINE

Some special services, such as bank- by-phone, require tone signals. If you have pulse service, you can still use these special tone services by following these steps.

1.Be sure DIAL MODE is set to P (pulse).

2.Dial the service’s main number.

USING PAGE AND FIND

To send a page from the base to the handset, when the handset is not in use, press PAGE on the base. The handset beeps for 2 seconds and the handset’s display shows PAGING.

Storing a Number and Name in Memory

Notes:

•If you wait more than 20 seconds between each keypress, a five-beep error signal sounds and memory storage stops. Start again at Step 1.

•If you receive a call while storing a memory number, you must start again from Step 1.

1.Lift the handset. If talk appears, press TALK to turn it off.

2.Press FUNCTION. DIAL MEMORY? and MEM-1 EDIT-0 appear.

6.To enter a name, use t or s to select the characters and or to move the cursor.

Repeatedly press t to see the char- acters in alphabetical order. (The display shows uppercase letters first, then lowercase letters, num- bers, and special characters.)

Notes:

•Press s to see the characters in reverse alphabetical order.

•You can hold down s or t to scroll rapidly through the characters.

•If you make a mistake, move the cursor over the error, then enter the correct character, or press DELETE to delete a character.

7.Press MEM. LOCATION? appears.

8.Enter the memory location number (01–20) where you want to store the number. The TAD beeps and STORING briefly appears.

9.For each stored number, write the person’s or company’s name next to the appropriate location number on the supplied memory directory stick- er. (Use a pencil in case you need to change the number later.) Peel the backing from the sticker and attach it to the phone as shown.

To replace a stored number, simply store a new one in its place.

Editing or Deleting a Number in Memory

Note: If you change your mind while ed- iting a memory number, press CANCEL to stop the process without making any changes.

1.Lift the handset. If talk appears, press TALK to turn it off.

2.Press FUNCTION. DIAL MEMORY? and MEM-1 EDIT-0 appear.

3.Press 0 to select edit. LOCATION? appears.

4.Enter the memory location number (01-20) for the number or name you want to edit or delete. The display shows the location number, name, and phone number.

Note: You can scroll through the memory locations by pressing s or t.

5.To delete the selected number, hold down DELETE until the handset beeps and No memory appears.

To edit the number, press MEM. Re- peatedly press DELETE to delete some or all of the number, then en- ter the new number (in reverse or- der) and press MEM again.

Note: To edit the name without edit- ing the number, press MEM twice.

To edit the name, use the s, t, , and keys as described in Step 6 of “Storing a Number and Name in Memory” on Page 21.

6.Press MEM. STORING briefly ap- pears.

Entering a Pause

In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the access code with the phone number. However, you should also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect.

To enter a 2-second pause while storing

aphone number, press PAUSE. P ap- pears. You can add more pause entries for a longer pause.

Dialing a Memory Number

1.Lift the handset. Press TALK, if nec- essary, so talk appears.

2.Press MEM and enter the memory location number (01-20) for the number you want to dial.

You can also select a memory number before you press TALK. Press MEM, then enter the desired location number, or use s and t to scroll through the mem- ory locations. The display shows the lo- cation number, name, and phone number. Then press TALK.

Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

When calling special services (such as alternate long distance or bank-by- phone), dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and enter the num- ber for the location where the additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire depart- ment, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to ex- plain the reason for your call.
