CHOOSING A LOCATION



Select a location that is near a modular telephone jack and an AC outlet.



Your TAD connects directly to a modular telephone line jack.  If your 

telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring

yourself or have the telephone company update it for you.



    Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters to convert older wiring 

    methods to modular wiring.



    The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.



    The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.



CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE



To connect the TAD to the phone line, plug one end of the supplied

telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back of the TAD.  Then plug

the other end into a modular phone jack.



You can also connect an extension telephone to the TEL SET jack on the back 

of the TAD using a second telephone cord (not supplied).



CONNECTING TO POWER



Insert the supplied adapter's barrel plug into the AC 9V jack on the back

of the TAD.  Then plug the AC adapter's other end into a standard AC

outlet.



CAUTION:  Only use an adapter that supplies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 

          780 milliamps, and has a plug which properly fits the TAD's AC 9V

          jack.  The supplied AC adapter meets these specifications.  Using

          a adapter that does not meet these specifications might damage

          the TAD or the adapter.



When you first connect power, - - flashes on the display while the TAD

automatically runs a self-test.  You cannot operate the TAD during this

test.  When the test is complete, the TAD beeps once. Lo and 00 alternately

flash on the display until you install the backup battery.



INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY



During an AC power failure, a 9-volt battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not

supplied) provides backup power so the TAD can maintain the correct time

and memory information.  However, the TAD cannot answer incoming calls and

record messages without AC power.



Follow these steps to install the battery.



1.  Slide the battery compartment cover (located on the bottom of the

    TAD) in the direction of the arrow and lift it off.



2.  Snap the battery's terminals to the connector inside the compartment.

    Then place the battery inside.



3.  Replace the cover.



When Lo and the number of calls in memory alternately flash on the display,

replace the battery.  Be sure the AC adapter's cord is plugged in so you do

not lose the TAD's stored information.



USING RESET



If the TAD does not work, press RESET on the back of the TAD to reset the

answering machine.



NOTE:  The outgoing message and all information stored in memory are

       deleted when you press RESET.
