IMPORTANT:  You must install and charge the battery before using the phone.

            Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. 
            When the AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive
            incoming calls using your TAD-266.  For this reason, the TAD-
            266 should not be your only telephone.  To be safe, you should
            also have a phone that draws its power from the telephone line
            (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and receive calls
            if there is an AC power failure.
