STALLATION  
FCC STATEMENT  
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC  
Rules. You must, upon request, provide  
the FCC registration number and the  
REN to your phone company. Both num-  
bers appear on the bottom of your TAD.  
Your TAD-795 conforms to federal regu-  
lations, and you can connect it to most  
telephone lines. However, each device  
that you connect to the phone line draws  
power from the line. We refer to this  
power draw as the device’s ringer equiv-  
alence number, or REN. The REN is  
shown on the label on the bottom of your  
TAD.  
Note: You must not connect your TAD  
to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
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.  
• most electronic key phone systems  
This device compiles with Part 15 of  
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the  
following two conditions:  
• This device may not cause harmful  
interference.  
• This device must accept any inter-  
ference received, including interfer-  
ence that may cause undesired  
operation.

PREPARATION  
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.  
CONNECTING THE AC  
ADAPTER  
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was  
designed specifically for your TAD-795.  
Use only the supplied adapter.  
CONNECTING TO THE  
TELEPHONE LINE  
AC 9V  
Notes:  
• Your TAD connects directly to a  
modular telephone line jack. If your  
phone line jack is not a modular  
jack, you can update the wiring  
yourself, using jacks and adapters  
available at your local RadioShack  
store. Or, you can let the phone  
company update the wiring for you.  
1. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
barrel plug into the AC 9V jack on  
the back of the TAD.  
2. Plug the other end of the adapter  
into a standard AC outlet.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ11C.  
When you first connect power, the TAD  
announces “Please wait,” then runs a  
self-test for about 1 minute. After the  
test, the TAD beeps and 0 appears in  
the message counter window.  
Follow these steps to connect your TAD  
to the telephone line and phone.  
PHONE  
Jack  
LINE  
Jack  
Note: The TAD’s message counter win-  
dow usually shows the number of mes-  
sages. That number alternates with  
other displays to tell you the status of  
the TAD.  
1. Unplug the telephone’s modular  
cord from the modular phone line  
jack and plug it into the PHONE jack  
on the back of the TAD.  
A1 appears if you have not record-  
ed announcement (outgoing mes-  
sage) 1.  
A2 appears if you have not record-  
ed announcement 2.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied modu-  
lar cord into the LINE jack on the  
back of the TAD.  
Lo appears if a backup battery is  
weak or missing.  
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a  
modular phone line jack.

43-795.fm Page 7 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:07 AM  
Replace the battery when Lo appears.  
INSTALLING A BACKUP  
BATTERY  
Cautions:  
If AC power fails or you unplug the TAD,  
a 9V backup battery (not supplied)  
saves the message groups, message  
counts, and the settings for the day,  
time, and security code. We recommend  
you use an alkaline battery, such as Ra-  
dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.  
• Before you replace the battery, be  
sure the TAD is properly connected  
to AC power. Otherwise, you might  
lose any stored information.  
• Always remove old or weak batter-  
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals  
that can destroy electronic parts.  
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of  
the required size and recommended  
type.  
• Dispose of the old battery promptly  
and properly. Do not burn or bury it.  
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove  
the screw on the battery compart-  
ment cover, then remove the cover.  
SETTING THE DAY AND  
TIME  
To avoid losing the day and time settings  
if AC power fails, we recommend you in-  
stall a backup battery before you set the  
day and time (see “Installing a Backup  
Battery”).  
Follow these steps so the TAD can  
record the correct day and time each  
message and memo is recorded.  
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to  
the battery connector and place the  
battery into the compartment.  
Note: If you do not complete each step  
within 8 seconds, the TAD sounds four  
beeps and exits setup. Start again at  
Step 1.  
3. Replace the cover and secure it with  
the screw.  
7
43-795.fm Page 8 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:07 AM  
1. Hold down TIME SET until a number  
from 17 (the day of the week) ap-  
pears and the TAD announces the  
currently set day.  
RECORDING THE  
OUTGOING MESSAGES  
Before the TAD-795 can answer calls  
and record messages, you must record  
an outgoing message (OGM). The TAD  
lets you record two separate messages  
of up to 32 seconds each, and it oper-  
ates differently based on which mes-  
sage you select.  
2. To change the day of the week, re-  
peatedly press REPEAT to move  
backward or SKIP to move forward  
until the TAD announces the desired  
day of the week.  
• OGM 1 – After playing your outgo-  
ing message, the TAD records the  
caller’s message.  
• OGM 2 (announce-only) – The TAD  
plays your outgoing message, but  
does not record a message.  
If you plan to use the TAD’s  
announce-only feature, OGM  
2
should clearly state that the caller  
cannot leave a message.  
3. Press TIME SET. The TAD announc-  
es the preset hour.  
The TAD-795 lets you store messages  
for up to four different users. It normally  
records messages in mailbox 1, but a  
caller can choose a different mailbox by  
pressing # and its number (1–4) after the  
outgoing message. Be sure your outgo-  
ing message tells the caller how to  
record a message for the desired mail-  
box.  
4. To change the hour, repeatedly  
press REPEAT or SKIP.  
5. Press TIME SET. The TAD announc-  
es the preset minute.  
6. To change the minutes, repeatedly  
press REPEAT or SKIP.  
7. Press TIME SET to confirm the set-  
tings. CL appears, then the TAD  
beeps and announces the day and  
time.  
Do not tell callers that you are out  
Hint:  
of town or not home. Instead, say that  
you cannot come to the phone right now.  
To check the current day/time at any  
time, press TIME SET.  
Follow these steps to record your outgo-  
ing message.

43-795.fm Page 9 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:07 AM  
1. To record the OGM 1 (or OGM 2)  
message, hold down OGM 1 (or  
OGM 2) until the TAD beeps and the  
timer starts counting.  
SETTING THE NUMBER  
OF RINGS  
Set the ring select switch to 2, 4, 7,or TS  
to set how long the TAD waits before it  
answers a call (2 rings, 4 rings, 7 rings  
or toll-saver).  
As soon as the TAD beeps,  
Note:  
release OGM 1 (or OGM 2) quickly.  
Otherwise, the TAD records a “pop”  
sound at the beginning of the outgo-  
ing message.  
If you plan to check your messages by  
long distance, set the ring select switch  
to TS (see “Using the Toll-Saver” on  
Page 15).  
2. Speak your message from about 8  
inches from the front of the TAD.  
3. When you finish, press STOP. The  
TAD beeps and plays back the out-  
going message.  
Checking the Outgoing  
Messages  
To check an outgoing message, press  
its button (OGM 1 or OGM 2). You see  
the announcement number and the  
message plays.  
If there is no announcement recorded,  
you hear “You have no announcement  
one” (or “two”) when you press its but-  
ton.

BASIC OPERATION  
SETTING THE TAD TO  
ANSWER CALLS  
INCOMING MESSAGE  
RECORDING  
After you have recorded an outgoing  
message, you can set the TAD to an-  
swer calls.  
When the TAD is set to answer calls us-  
ing OGM 1, it plays the outgoing mes-  
sage, then beeps. The caller can then  
record a message up to 60 seconds  
long.  
To set the TAD to answer calls, press  
ANSWER. The announcement number  
(A1 or A2) appears, then the TAD plays  
the outgoing message and shows the  
number of recorded messages. The AN-  
SWER indicator lights to show that the  
TAD is ready to answer calls.  
The TAD normally records messages in  
mailbox 1, but callers can record to a  
specific mailbox by pressing # and its  
number (1–4) after the outgoing mes-  
sage.  
ANSWER  
Indicator  
When a recording reaches 55 seconds,  
the TAD beeps to notify the caller that  
time will soon be up. At 60 seconds, the  
TAD sounds a long beep and four short  
beeps, says “Thank you for your call,”  
and hangs up.  
To set the TAD to record callers’ mes-  
sages, press OGM 1. The TAD says “An-  
swer on” and plays OGM 1.  
The TAD stops recording and resets to  
answer the next call when:  
To set the TAD to play an outgoing mes-  
sage but not let callers leave a mes-  
sage, press OGM 2. The TAD says  
“Announce only” and plays OGM 2. Ao  
(announce only) and the number of re-  
corded messages alternately appear.  
• the caller hangs up  
• the maximum message length is  
reached  
• there are more than 8 seconds of si-  
lence  
• you pick up any phone on the same  
line as the TAD  
If the TAD’s memory is full, FL and the  
number of recorded messages alter-  
nately appear. It answers calls after 3  
rings and plays the announce-only mes-  
sage (OGM 2). If no OGM 2 is recorded,  
the TAD says “Memory is full, please call  
later.”  
To set the TAD to not answer calls,  
press ANSWER. The TAD announces  
“Answer off” and beeps. The ANSWER  
indicator turns off.

43-795.fm Page 11 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:07 AM  
Notes:  
PLAYING MESSAGES  
• The maximum recording capacity is  
48 minutes or 59 messages.  
The TAD’s message counter window  
shows the total number of messages,  
both old and new. If there are new mes-  
sages, the mailbox indicators flash to let  
you know which mailboxes have new  
messages.  
• Many local phone companies use  
calling party control (CPC) to signal  
that the caller has hung up. Your  
TAD recognizes a CPC signal and  
releases the line. If the TAD records  
phone company messages or dial  
tones, your local phone company  
probably does not use CPC.  
Note: The TAD’s message counter win-  
dow might also alternately show other  
information to tell you the status of the  
TAD.  
A1 appears if you have not record-  
ed announcement (outgoing mes-  
sage) 1.  
SCREENING CALLS  
To screen calls, let the TAD answer  
them, then listen to the caller’s message

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.  
To play only new messages, hold down  
the desired mailbox button for 2 sec-  
onds. The TAD tells you how many new

REMOTE OPERATION  
While you are away from your home or  
office, you can use a touch-tone phone  
or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket  
tone dialer to enter your remote opera-  
tion security code and do any of the fol-  
lowing:  
USING REMOTE  
COMMANDS  
Follow these steps to operate the TAD  
remotely.  
1. Dial your phone number.  
• set the TAD to answer calls  
• listen to your messages  
• record a new announcement  
• record a memo  
2. When the TAD answers, enter your  
remote operation security code. The  
TAD beeps once to confirm that you  
entered the correct code.  
Notes:  
• delete messages  
• If you do not enter each digit of  
the security code within 8 sec-  
onds, the TAD hangs up.  
• monitor the room where the TAD is  
located  
Note: You cannot remotely operate the  
TAD from another phone on the same  
line as your TAD-795.  
• Even if the TAD is not set to an-  
swer calls, it will answer after  
about 9 rings.  
3. Enter a remote command (see “Re-  
mote Commands” on Page 16).  
USING THE TOLL-SAVER  
4. When you finish, simply hang up.  
If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll-

Rings” on Page 9), the TAD answers af-  
ter two rings if you have new messages.  
If there are no new messages, the TAD  
waits for four rings before it answers.  
This gives you time to hang up before  
the TAD answers so you can avoid un-  
necessary long-distance charges.

take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack TAD-795 Digital Telephone Answering System is an example of su-  
perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for  
your TAD-795 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the TAD-795 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the TAD-795 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the TAD-795 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the TAD-795 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-795 to work improperly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can  
leak chemicals that damage your TAD-795’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the TAD-795 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the TAD-795.  
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-795’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your TAD-795’s warranty and void your FCC authoriza-  
tion to operate it. If your TAD-795 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-795 until you have resolved the  
problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
LIGHTNING  
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits  
to reduce the risk of damage from surg-  
es in phone and power line current.  
These protection circuits meet or ex-  
ceed FCC requirements. However, light-  
ning striking the phone line or power  
lines can damage your TAD.  
In the unlikely event that your TAD caus-  
es problems on the phone line, the  
phone company can temporarily discon-  
nect your service. If this happens, the  
phone company attempts to notify you in  
advance. If advance notice is not practi-  
cal, the phone company notifies you as  
soon as possible and advises you of  
your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug your TAD during storms  
to reduce the possibility of damage.  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of your TAD. The phone com-  
pany notifies you of these changes in  
advance, so you can take steps to pre-  
vent interruption of your phone service.
