Radio Shack TAD-779 Manuel D’Utilisation

10

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 

. The TAD announces,

“Answer on,” and the ANSWER indica-
tor lights.

To set the TAD to not answer calls,
press 

 again. The TAD an-

nounces, “Answer off,” and the AN-
SWER indicator turns off. 

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.

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 

 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.
