FEATURES

Your RadioShack TAD-779 Digital Tele-

phone Answering System is a high-

quality telephone answering device

(TAD) that you can also control remotely

from any touch-tone phone. With an op-

tional pocket tone dialer, you can even

use it from a rotary phone.

The TAD-779 stores messages on a

computer chip. This gives you advanced

capabilities over tape-based answering

machines. For example, you can delete

an individual message by using remote

commands. Because your TAD is fully

digital, there are no tapes to bother with

and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

The TAD-779’s 16-minute capacity lets

you store a lot of messages. And its

unique, space-saving design makes it

ideal for any office or nightstand.

The TAD-779 has these features:

ital Messa

e Stora

e — lets you

record up to 16 minutes of messages

and memos. Each incoming message

can be up to 60 seconds long.

the day and time that each message

was recorded.

This TAD has been tested and found to

comply with all applicable UL and FCC

standards.

This symbol is intended to alert you to

the presence of uninsulated danger-

ous voltage within the product’s enclo-

sure that might be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-

tric shock. Do not open the product’s

case.

This symbol is intended to inform you

that important operating and mainte-

nance instructions are included in the

literature accompanying this product.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

Your TAD-779 conforms to federal regu-

lations, and you can connect it to most

telephone lines. However, each device

you connect to the phone line draws

power from the phone line. We refer to

this power draw as the device’s

ringer

equivalence number

, or REN. The REN

is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.

If you are using more than one device

on the line, add up all the RENs. If the

total is more than five, your phone might

not ring and your TAD might not answer.

In rural areas, a total REN of three might

impair ringer operation. If ringer opera-

tion is impaired, remove one of the de-

vices from the line.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-

ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-

ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

fire or shock hazard, do not ex-

pose this product to rain or mois-

ture.

CAUTION !

FCC STATEMENT

Your TAD-779 complies with Part 68 of

FCC Rules

. You must, upon request,

provide the FCC registration number

and the REN to your phone company.

Both numbers are on the label on the

bottom of the TAD.

Note: You must not connect your TAD

to:

• coin-operated systems

• party-line systems

• most electronic key phone systems

Your TAD-779 complies with the limits

for a Class B digital device as specified

in Part 15 of

FCC Rules

. These limits

provide reasonable protection against

radio and TV interference in a residential

area. However, your TAD might cause

TV or radio interference even when it is

operating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try

one or more of the following corrective

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

radio or TV antenna.

• Increase the distance between the

TAD and the radio or TV.

• Use outlets on different electrical cir-

cuits for the TAD and the radio or

PREPARATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location for the TAD that is near

a modular telephone line jack and an AC

outlet, and is not in the way of normal

activities.

INSTALLING A BACKUP

BATTERY

If the AC power fails or you unplug the

TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied)

saves the messages and the settings for

the day, time, and remote operation se-

curity code. We recommend you use an

alkaline battery, such as RadioShack

Cat. No. 23-553.

Caution: Always use a fresh battery of

the required size and recommended

type.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the battery compartment cover’s

screw, then slide the cover in the

direction of the arrow and lift it off.

2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to

the battery connector and place the

battery in the compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

Replace the battery when the ANSWER

indicator flashes.

Cautions:

• Always remove an old or weak bat-

tery. Batteries can leak chemicals

that can destroy electronic parts.

• Dispose of the old battery promptly

and properly. Do not bury or burn it.

• To avoid losing stored information,

be sure the AC adapter is plugged in

and connected to the TAD before

you replace the battery.

CONNECTING THE TAD

Notes:

• Your TAD connects directly to a

modular phone line jack. If your line

jack is not modular, you can update

it yourself, using jacks and adapters

available at your local RadioShack

store. Or, you can let the phone

company update it for you.

43-779.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 1999 7:34 AM

• The USOC number of the jack to be

installed is RJ11C.

Follow these steps to connect your TAD

to the telephone line and phone.

1. Unplug the telephone’s modular

cord from the modular phone line

jack and plug it into the TO TEL jack

on the back of the TAD.

2. Plug one end of the supplied modu-

lar telephone cord into the TO LINE

jack on the back of the TAD.

3. Plug the cord’s other end into a

modular phone line jack.

Note: Adjust VOLUME to the middle

position before connecting power.

Caution: The supplied AC adapter

was designed specifically for your

TAD-779. Use only the supplied

adapter.

4. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s

barrel plug into the AC 9V jack on

the back of the TAD-779. Plug the

adapter’s other end into a standard

AC outlet.

When you first connect power, the TAD

runs a self-test. When the test is com-

plete (about 17 seconds), the TAD

beeps and announces, “Answer off.”

Note: When you first connect power, the

PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes, indicating

that you have not recorded an outgoing

message. If you have not installed a

backup battery, the ANSWER indicator

also flashes.

SETTING THE DAY AND

TIME

To avoid losing the day and time set-

tings if AC power fails, we recommend

you install a backup battery before you

set the day and time (see “Installing a

Backup Battery” on Page 6).

Follow these steps so the TAD can

record the correct day and time each

message and memo is recorded.

Note: If you do not complete each step

within 8 seconds, the TAD-779 sounds

three beeps and exits from setup. Start

again at Step 1.

1. Use a pointed object such as a

straightened paper clip to hold down

CLOCK until the TAD-779 beeps and

announces the currently set day.

2. To change the day of the week,

repeatedly press REPEAT to move

backward or SKIP to move forward

until the TAD announces the desired

day of the week.

Note: To change the time in 10-

minute increments, hold down

REPEAT or SKIP.

7. Press STOP to confirm the settings.

The TAD beeps and announces the

day and time.

To check the current day and time at

any time, use a pointed object such as a

straightened paper clip to press CLOCK.

43-779.fm Page 8 Monday, August 16, 1999 7:34 AM

RECORDING THE

OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before the TAD can answer calls and

record messages, you must record an

outgoing message. Your outgoing mes-

sage can be up to 60 seconds long.

Hint: Do not tell callers you are not

home. Instead, say that you cannot

come to the phone right now.

Follow these steps to record your outgo-

ing message or to change your current

message.

1. Hold down OGM (outgoing mes-

sage) until the TAD beeps.

Note: If you try to record an outgo-

ing message when the TAD’s mem-

ory is full, the PLAY/SKIP indicator

flashes rapidly and the TAD

announces, “Memory is full.” You

must delete some messages to

make room in memory (see “Delet-

ing Messages” on Page 11).

2. Speak your message from about 8

inches in front of the TAD.

3. When you finish, press STOP. The

TAD beeps and plays back the out-

going message.

To check your outgoing message at any

time, press OGM. If no outgoing mes-

sage is recorded, the TAD-779 says,

“No announcement.”

SETTING THE NUMBER

OF RINGS

Set the ring select switch to 4, 7,or TS to

set how long the TAD waits before it an-

swers a call (4 rings, 7 rings or toll-

saver).

If you plan to check your messages by

long distance, set the ring select switch

to TS (see “Using the Toll-Saver” on

Page 13).

OPERATION

SETTING THE TAD TO

ANSWER CALLS

After you have recorded an outgoing

message, you can set the TAD to an-

swer calls.

To set the TAD-779 to answer calls,

press ANSWER. The TAD announces,

“Answer on,” and the ANSWER indica-

tor lights.

To set the TAD to not answer calls,

press ANSWER again. The TAD an-

nounces, “Answer off,” and the AN-

SWER indicator turns off.

INCOMING MESSAGE

RECORDING

When the TAD is set to answer calls, it

plays the outgoing message, then

beeps. The caller can then record a

message up to 60 seconds long.

The TAD hangs up and resets to answer

the next call when:

• the caller hangs up

• the maximum message length is

reached

• there are more than 8 seconds of

silence

• you pick up any phone on the same

phone line as the TAD

If the TAD’s memory becomes full, it an-

swers a call after two rings and an-

nounces, “Memory is full.” Delete some

of the old messages to make room in

memory (see “Deleting Messages” on

Page 11).

Note: The maximum recording capacity

is 16 minutes.

SCREENING CALLS

To screen calls, let the TAD answer

them, then listen to the caller’s message

through the TAD’s speaker.

To adjust the volume, slide VOLUME on

the right side of the TAD.

If you decide to answer the call, pick up

any phone on the same phone line as

the TAD. The TAD stops recording and

resets to answer the next call.

If you do not want to take the call, simply

let the TAD finish recording the caller’s

message.
