READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

We have designed your TAD to conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines.  However, each device you connect to
the phone line draws power from it.  This power draw is the device's Ringer
Equivalence Number, or REN.  The REN is shown on the bottom of the TAD.

If you use 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 one of the devices from the line.

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 telephone company.
Both numbers are marked on the bottom of the TAD.

NOTE:  You must not connect the TAD to:

       Coin-operated systems

       Party-line systems

       Electronic key telephone systems

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 our
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 small 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
          760 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, then
          the TAD automatically runs a self-test.  You cannot operate the
          TAD during this test.  When the test is complete, the TAD beeps
          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
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.

3.  Replace the cover.

When Lo and the two-digit 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 AC power fails or the TAD does not work, press RESET on the back of the
TAD to reset the answering machine.

NOTES: The outgoing message and all information stored in memory are
       erased when you press RESET.

       During a power failure, the TAD cannot answer incoming calls or
       record messages.
