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 that you connect
to the phone line draws power from the line.  We refer to this power draw
as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.  The REN is shown on the
bottom of your TAD.

If you are using more than one device on the line, add up all the RENs.  If
the total is more than five, your phone might not ring and your TAD might
not answer.  In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer oper-
ation.  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 phone company. Both
numbers appear on the bottom of your TAD.

NOTE:  You must not connect your TAD to:

    Coin-operated systems

    Party-line systems

    Most electronic key phone systems

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.  Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:

    This device may not cause harmful interference.

    This device must accept any interference received, including inter-
    ference that may cause undesired operation.

INSTALLATION

Select a location for the TAD that is near a telephone jack and an AC outlet
and is not in the way of normal activities.

CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE

1.  Unplug the telephone's modular cord from the modular phone line jack
    and plug it into the TO TEL jack on the back of the TAD.

2.  Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TO LINE jack on the
    back of the TAD.

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

NOTE:  If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the
       wiring.  You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adap-
       ters available at your local Radio Shack store.  Or, you can let the
       phone company update the wiring for you.

       The phone company will charge you for the installation of necessary
       jacks.

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

CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER

CAUTION:  You must use a Class II AC adapter that supplies 12 volts of
          power, delivers at least 200 milliamps, and has a plug that prop-
          erly fits the TAD's 12V DC jack with its center tip set to nega-
          tive.  The supplied adapter meets these specifications.  Using an
          adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the
          adapter and the TAD.

1.  Insert the small round plug of the supplied AC adapter into the 12V DC
    jack on the back of the TAD.

2.  Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

The TAD initializes itself and the ON LINE, MEMO, and PLAY indicators flash
six times.  Then the TAD beeps once and the ON LINE indicator lights
steadily.

NOTES:  Be sure not to press any of the TAD's buttons while you are plugging
        the adapter into the AC outlet. If you accidentally press a button,
        reset the TAD by unplugging the adapter from the AC outlet and re-
        inserting it.

        The TAD cannot operate without AC power.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY

If the AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and
security code.  We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-553.

1.  To remove the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the TAD,
    remove the screw with a small Phillips screwdriver, then lift off the
    cover.

2.  Snap the battery's contacts firmly to the battery connector, then put
    the battery into the compartment.

3.  Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the screw.

Replace the battery if the LOW BATT indicator turns on while the AC adapter
is properly connected.

CAUTIONS:  Before you replace the battery, be sure the supplied adapter is
           securely connected to an AC outlet and to the jack on the back of
           the TAD.  Otherwise, you might lose any stored information.

           Always use a fresh battery of the required size and type.

           Dispose of the battery promptly and properly.  Do not bury or
           burn it.
