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 jacks.  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 RJ11W for a wall mount 
    jack.

CONNECTING TO POWER

Insert the supplied AC 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
          an adapter that does not meet these specifications might damage
          the TAD or the adapter.

          When you first connect power, - - flashes on the display and the
          TAD automatically runs a self-test.  You cannot operate the TAD
          during this test.  When the test is complete, the TAD beeps once
          and LO and 00 alternately flash on the display until you install
          the back-up battery.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY

During an AC power failure, a 9-volt battery provides backup power so the
TAD can maintain the correct time and memory information.  For the best
performance, we recommend an alkaline battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not
supplied).

NOTE:  The telephone operates normally during a power failure; however,
       the TAD cannot answer and record incoming calls without AC power.

Follow these steps to install the battery.

1.  Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to push the latch on the battery
    compartment cover, then lift the cover.

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

3.  Replace the cover and press down on the latch to close it securely. 

When the battery is low and needs replacing, Lo and 00 alternately flash on
the display.   Be sure the AC adapter's cord is plugged in while you
replace the battery, 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 erased
       when you press RESET.

WALL MOUNTING

You can mount the TAD on a standard wall plate or directly on the wall, 
using two screws with heads that fit into the keyhold slots on the back 
of your TAD. 

1.  Plug one end of the supplied short modular cord into the jack on the 
    back of the TAD. 

2.  Plug the other end of the modular cord into the wall plate jack. 

3.  Snap the supplied mounting bracket into the slots on the bottom of 
    the TAD. 

    NOTE:  Be sure the keyhold slots on the bracket and the TAD are pointed
           in the same direction.

4.  Align the wall plate's two studs with the keyhold slots on the bottom 
    of the TAD.  Slide the TAD down onto the screws to secure the TAD to 
    the wall plate. 

5.  Slide the handset clip up and out of its retaining slot in the base. 
    Rotate the clip so the tab points up, then slide the clip back into 
    its slot.  Hang the handset on the base. 

Directly on a Wall

1.  Drill two holes 3 15/16 inches (100 mm) apart.

2.  Thread a screw (not supplied) into each hole until the head extends
    only about 3/16 of an inch (5mm) from the wall. 

3.  Snap the supplied mounting bracket into the slots on the bottom of the 
    TAD. 

    NOTE:  Be sure the keyhole slots on the bracket and the TAD are pointed
           in the same direction. 

4.  Align the two screws with the keyhold slots in the bottom of the TAD. 
    Slide the TAD down onto the screws to secure the TAD to the wall. 

5.  Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the TEL LINE jack 
    on top of the phone's base. 

6.  Plug the cord's other end into a modular phone line jack. 

7.  Slide the handset clip up and out of its retaining slot in the base. 
    Rotate the clip so the tab points up, then slide the clip back into 
    its slot.  Hang the handset on the base. 

CONNECTING THE HANDSET CORD

If you place the TAD on a desk or table, or after you mount the TAD (see 
"Wall Mounting"), plug one end of the coiled cord into the jack on the 
left side of the phone's base.  Plug the other end into the jack on the 
handset.
