(430-0743)              Care and Maintenance          Faxback Doc. # 32072

Your Radio Shack TAD-1003 Fully Digital TAD with Voice Stamp 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 circuit
    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 and
    distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature 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 detergents to
    clean the TAD.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your TAD's warranty.  If your TAD-1003
Fully Digital TAD with Voice Stamp is not performing as it should, take it
to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company attempts to notify you in advance.  If advance
notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as
possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this TAD.
The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone
services.

Your TAD complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your TAD might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following
corrective measures:

    Reorient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna.

    Increase the distance between the TAD and the radio or TV.

    Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the TAD and the radio
    or TV 

Consult your local Radio Shack store if the problem still exists.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone and power line current.  These protection
circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  However, lightning striking
the telephone or power lines can damage your TAD.

Lightning damage is not common.  Nevertheless, 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.
