FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-797 Digital An- swering System 900MHz Cordless Speakerphone combines a 900MHz cordless telephone with a 50-memory Caller ID unit and a digital TAD (Tele- phone Answering Device).

The TAD-797’s telephone uses ad- vanced digital spread spectrum technol- ogy to give you superior audio quality and the utmost security. Its cordless op- eration lets you move freely around your home or office.

The TAD-797’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. If you have Call Waiting with Caller ID, the TAD-797 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 each message’s day and time. This gives you advanced capabilities over tape-based answering machines:

•You can delete individual messages and save the rest.

•There are no tapes to bother with and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

The remote operation feature lets you operate your TAD from a touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer).
