Call Screening — lets you listen as a caller leaves a message so you can de- cide whether or not to answer the call.

Memo Recording — lets you leave messages for yourself or others in your home or office. You can also record your phone conversation.

Adjustable Ring Number — lets you set the TAD to answer after three or five rings.

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

Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops re- cording when you pick up any phone on the same line as the TAD, and resets to answer the next call.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to con- form to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. How- ever, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence num- ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the base.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your TAD-797 complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.

You must not connect your phone to any of the following:

coin-operated systems

party-line systems

most electronic key phone systems

Note: Your telephone operates on stan- dard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Even though the security access-protection code prevents unau- thorized use of your phone line, it is pos- sible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a certain area to unintentionally intercept your conver- sations and/or cause interference. This lack of privacy can occur with any cord- less phone.
