Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the AC power is off, you cannot
dial out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-794. To be safe, you should
also have a phone that does not need
AC power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so you can still make and re-
ceive calls if there is an AC power fail-
ure.
Important Caller ID Information
To use the TAD-794's Caller ID and Call
Waiting with Caller ID features, you
must be in an area where those services
are available and you must subscribe to
those services through your local phone
company.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more
options are generally available:
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
• caller's name and number
We recommend you record the TAD's
serial number here. The number is on
the bottom of the base.

900 MHz Caller ID/Call Waiting ID
with Digital Answering System
FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-794 900 MHz
Caller ID/Call Waiting ID Cordless
Phone combines a 900 MHz cordless
telephone with a Caller ID unit and a dig-
ital TAD (Telephone Answering Device).
The TAD-794's telephone uses ad-
vanced analog technology to give you
superior audio quality, while its cordless
operation lets you move freely around
your home or office.
The TAD-794'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. And, if you have
Call Waiting with Caller ID, the TAD-794
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 the day and time each message
was recorded. This gives you advanced
capabilities over tape-based answering
machines. For example, you can delete
individual messages and save the rest.
Because your TAD is fully digital, there
are no tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
And, the remote operation feature lets
you operate your TAD from a touch-tone
phone (or a rotary phone and pocket
tone dialer).
