y
ou should
also have a phone that does not need
AC power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so
y
ou can still make and re-
ceive calls if there is an AC power fail-
ure.

FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-794 900 MHz
Caller ID/Call Waitin
g
ID Cordless
Phone combines a 900 MHz cordless
telephone with a Caller ID unit and a di
g
-
ital TAD (Telephone Answerin
g
Device).
The TAD-794’s telephone uses ad-
vanced analo
g
technolo
gy
to
g
ive
y
ou
superior audio qualit
y
, while its cordless
operation lets
y
ou move freel
y
around
y
our home or office.
The TAD-794’s Caller ID unit records
each caller’s telephone number (and
name, if available in
y
our area) and the
da
y
and time of the call, as provided b
y
y
our local phone compan
y
to Caller ID
service subscribers. And, if
y
ou have
Call Waitin
g
with Caller ID, the TAD-794
shows
y
ou the incomin
g
caller informa-
tion, even when
y
ou are alread
y
on the
phone.
The TAD stores up to 15 minutes of
messa
g
es on a computer chip and
records the da
y
and time each messa
g
e
was recorded. This
g
ives
y
ou advanced
capabilities over tape-based answerin
g
machines. For example,
y
ou can delete
individual messa
g
es and save the rest.
Because
y
our TAD is full
y
di
g
ital, there
are no tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
And, the remote operation feature lets
y
ou operate
y
our TAD from a touch-tone
phone (or a rotar
y
phone and pocket
tone dialer).
