This symbol is intended to inform you
that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the
literature accompanying this product.
This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable standards.
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the AC power is off, you cannot
make or receive calls using your TAD797. 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 receive calls if there
is an AC power failure.
Important Caller ID Information
To use the TAD-797’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.

FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-797 Digital Answering System 900MHz Cordless
Speakerphone combines a 900MHz
cordless telephone with a 50-memory
Caller ID unit and a digital TAD (Telephone Answering Device).
The TAD-797’s telephone uses advanced digital spread spectrum technology to give you superior audio quality
and the utmost security. Its cordless operation 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 information, 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).
Telephone Features
900 MHz Operation — provides longer
range and less interference than many
other cordless phones.

caller leaves a message so you can decide 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.
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
Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary charges when you call by long
distance to check your messages.
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.
Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops recording when you pick up any phone on
the same line as the TAD, and resets to
answer the next call.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However, 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 number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base.
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security
access-protection code prevents unauthorized use of your phone line, it is possible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conversations and/or cause interference. This
lack of privacy can occur with any cordless phone.

PACK
To charge the battery pack, simply place
the handset on the base, facing either
up or down. The CHARGE indicator on
the base lights and Total:00 appears
on the handset’s display.
The TAD-797 comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack installed in the handset, but not

Charge
Indicator
Recharge the battery pack when Low
Battery
appears
and a beep
sounds.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error signal when you press TALK. If this
happens, return the handset to the
base for about 5 seconds. This resets the security access-protection
code.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
light when you place the handset on
the base, be sure the AC adapter is
correctly and securely connected.
43-797.fm Page 13 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:20 AM
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the contacts are dirty or tarnished, clean
them with a pencil eraser.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base
for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, after
you charge the handset battery pack, do
this simple test.
1. Set DIAL MODE to T (tone).
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery by keeping the handset
off the base until Low Battery
appears. Otherwise, the battery
pack loses its ability to fully recharge.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps every few seconds and Low Battery flashes on the display. If this
happens, you must recharge the
battery pack before you can make
another call.
• If the battery pack is completely discharged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to reset the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
•
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 37).
2. Press TALK on the handset and listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
Note: If your phone system requires
that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code number either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave DIAL
MODE set to T.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P
(pulse).
4. Press TALK or place the handset on
the base to hang up.

TAD OPERATION
SELECTING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
RECORDING/DELETING
AN OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD has two prerecorded outgoing
messages. One asks the caller to leave
a message: “Hello, no one is available to
take your call. Please leave a message
after the tone.” The TAD uses this message when REC TIME is set to 1 or 4 (see
“Setting the Record Time” on Page 29).
To record your outgoing message (up to
30 seconds long), hold down OGM until
the TAD beeps and -- appears. When
you finish your message, press STOP.
The TAD plays back your message.
The other is simply an announcement
and does not let the caller leave a message: “Hello, no one is available to take
your call.” The TAD uses this message
when REC TIME is set to ANN (announcement only)
You can also record your own message
(see “Recording/Deleting an Outgoing
Message”). When you record your own
outgoing message, the TAD uses it for
all REC TIME settings.
To switch between your outgoing message and the TAD’s prerecorded message, press OGM. When the current
message begins to play, press OGM
again. The TAD switches to the other
message and plays it.

Hint: Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say that you cannot
come to the phone right now.
Note: The TAD-797 cannot record an
outgoing message less than two seconds long.
To delete your outgoing message and
use the TAD’s prerecorded messages,
hold down OGM until the TAD beeps.

wear of parts.
Handle the TAD-797 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-797 to work improperly.
Use only a fresh battery pack of the required size and recommended
type. Battery packs can leak chemicals that damage your TAD-797’s
electronic parts.
Wipe the TAD-797 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the TAD-797.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-797’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate
it. If your TAD-797 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company
can ask you to disconnect your TAD-797 until you have resolved the problem.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 12, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. You can order
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge it for about
24 hours.
Note: To avoid losing memory numbers,
install and begin charging the new battery pack within 1 minute.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Unfasten the plastic retainer strap
and lift the battery pack out of the
compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack’s connector into the socket in the compartment, place the battery pack into
the compartment, and refasten the
retainer strap.
4. Replace the cover.
If you have trouble replacing the battery
pack, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector’s
pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might
overheat and burn.
Important: This product contains a rechargeable nickel-cadmium
battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be available are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
38
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
