READ THIS BEFORE IN-  
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  
numbers are on the label on the bottom  
of the TAD.  
Your TAD conforms to federal regula-  
tions, and you can connect it to most  
telephone lines. However, each device  
you connect to the phone line draws  
power from the phone line. We refer to  
this power draw is the device’s ringer  
equivalence number, or REN. The REN  
is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.  
You must not connect the TAD to any of  
the following:  
• coin-operated systems  
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 (or  
three in rural areas), your phone(s)  
might not ring and your TAD might not  
answer. If ringer operation is impaired,  
remove a device from the line.  
• party-line systems  
• most electronic key phone systems

PREPARATION  
Select a location for the TAD that is  
near both a telephone jack and an AC  
outlet, and is not in the way of normal  
activities.  
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a  
modular phone line jack.  
4. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s  
AC 9V  
barrel plug into the  
the back of the TAD.  
jack on  
Caution: The supplied AC adapter  
was designed specifically for your  
TAD-798. Use only the supplied  
adapter.  
CONNECTING THE TAD  
Notes:  
• Your TAD connects directly to a  
modular phone line jack. If your  
phone line jack is not modular, you  
can update it yourself, using jacks  
and adapters available at your local  
RadioShack store. Or, you can let  
the phone company update it for  
you.  
5. Plug the other end of the adapter  
into a standard AC outlet.  
When you first connect power, the TAD  
announces “Please wait.” The mes-  
sage counter counts from 0 to 18. The  
TAD beeps, and 0 appears in the mes-  
sage counter window.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ11C.  
Note: The TAD’s message counter usu-  
ally shows the number of recorded mes-  
sages. That number alternates with  
other displays to tell you the status of  
the TAD.

2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to  
the battery connector and place the  
battery in the compartment.  
INSTALLING A BACKUP  
BATTERY  
If the AC power fails or you unplug the  
TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied)  
saves the messages, time and day set-  
tings, and the CBT and remote opera-  
tion security codes. We recommend you  
use an alkaline battery, such as Ra-  
dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.  
3. Replace the cover and secure it  
with the screw.  
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of  
the required size and recommended  
type.  
Replace the battery when Lo appears.  
Cautions:  
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to re-  
move the screw on the battery com-  
partment cover, then remove the  
cover.  
• Always remove an old or weak bat-  
tery. Batteries can leak chemicals  
that can destroy electronic parts.  
• Dispose of the old battery promptly  
and properly. Do not bury or burn it.  
To avoid losing stored information,  
be sure the AC adapter is plugged  
in and connected to the TAD before  
you replace the battery.

BASIC OPERATION  
Follow these steps to record an outgo-  
ing message.  
RECORDING THE  
OUTGOING MESSAGES  
1. To record an outgoing message,  
hold down OGM 1 or OGM 2 until the  
TAD beeps and the timer starts  
counting.  
Before the TAD can answer calls and  
record messages, you must record an  
outgoing message (OGM). The TAD-  
798 lets you record two separate mes-  
sages, and it operates differently based  
on the message you select (see “Using  
the  
Announce-Only  
Feature”  
on  
Page 11).  
• OGM 1. After playing your outgoing  
message, the TAD lets callers  
record a message.  
Note: As soon as the TAD beeps,  
release OGM 1 (or OGM 2) quickly.  
Otherwise, the TAD records a “pop”  
sound at the beginning of the outgo-  
ing message.  
• OGM 2 (announcement-only). The  
TAD plays your outgoing message,  
but does not let the caller record a  
message.  
2. Release OGM 1 (or OGM 2) and  
speak your message from about 8  
inches in front of the TAD.  
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are out  
of town or not home. Instead, say that  
you cannot come to the phone right  
now.  
3. When you finish recording, press  
STOP. The TAD beeps and plays  
back the outgoing message.  
Notes:  
Listening to the Outgoing  
Messages  
• The maximum length for each out-  
going message is 32 seconds. As  
you record, the message counter  
shows the recording time.  
To hear an outgoing message, press  
OGM 1 or OGM 2. The TAD beeps, A1 or  
A2 appears, and the outgoing message  
plays.  
• If you plan to use the TAD’s an-  
nouncement-only feature, OGM 2  
should clearly state that the caller  
cannot leave a message.

43-798.fm Page 11 Monday, August 16, 1999 9:33 AM  
If no outgoing message is recorded  
when you press OGM 1 or OGM 2, the  
TAD announces “You have no an-  
nouncement one” (or “two”) and sounds  
four beeps.  
USING THE ANNOUNCE-  
ONLY FEATURE  
When the announce-only feature is on,  
the TAD-798 plays OGM 2 but does not  
let callers leave a message. (You must  
have recorded an OGM 2 message be-  
fore you can use this feature.)  
SETTING THE TAD TO  
ANSWER CALLS  
To set the TAD to announce-only, be  
sure the TAD is set to answer calls, then  
press OGM 2. The TAD says “Announce  
only,” and plays the second outgoing  
message. The number of recorded  
messages and Ao appear alternately.  
To set the TAD to answer or not answer  
calls, press ANSWER. The TAD an-  
nounces “Answer on” (or “off”) and  
plays the outgoing message. If the AN-  
SWER indicator is lit, the TAD is set to  
answer calls.  
To turn off the announce-only feature,  
press OGM 1. The TAD beeps, says  
“Answer on,” and plays OGM 1.  
Notes:  
• You must record an outgoing mes-  
sage before you can set the TAD to  
answer calls.  
• If you have set the TAD to not an-  
swer calls, you can use a remote  
phone to set it to answer calls (see  
“Using Remote Commands” on  
Page 17).

number of messages, both old (ones  
you have listened to and saved) and  
new. If there are new messages, the  
ANSWER indicator flashes.  
Each incoming message can be up to  
60 seconds long. At 55 seconds the

REMOTE OPERATION  
You can operate the TAD from almost  
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary  
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (avail-  
able at your local RadioShack store).  
USING REMOTE  
COMMANDS  
Follow these steps to operate the TAD  
from a remote location.  
1. Dial your phone number.  
TOLL-SAVER  
Note: Even if the TAD is not set to  
answer calls, it will answer after  
about 9 rings.  
If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll-  
saver), the TAD-798 answers after two  
rings if you have new messages. If  
there are no new messages, the TAD  
answers after four rings. This gives you  
time to hang up before the TAD an-  
swers so you can avoid unnecessary  
long-distance charges. See “Setting the  
Number of Rings” on Page 9.  
2. When the TAD answers, enter your  
remote operation security code.  
The TAD beeps once to confirm that  
you entered the correct code.  
Note: If you do not enter each digit  
of the security code within 8 sec-  
onds of the last, the TAD hangs up.  
3. Enter the remote command (see  
“Remote  
Command  
List”  
on  
Page 18).  
4. When you finish, hang up. The TAD  
resets to answer calls.

on Page 21) or take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack TAD-798 Digital Telephone Answering System is an example  
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you  
care for the TAD so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.  
Use and store the TAD only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,  
damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-  
tergents to clean the TAD.  
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty. If your TAD-798 is not per-  
forming 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 dis-  
connect your TAD 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 telephone and power line current.  
These protection circuits meet or ex-  
ceed the FCC requirements. However,  
lightning striking the telephone or power  
lines can damage your TAD.  
In the unlikely event that your TAD  
causes 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  
practical, 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 the 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.
