TAD-1005 Multi-User Digital Telephone Answering System (430-0745) Installation Faxback Doc. # 18425 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. INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY If the AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied) saves the message groups, message counts, 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. Remove the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the TAD by removing the screw on the cover's tab, then lifting off the cover. 2. Snap the battery's contacts firmly to the battery connector, then place the battery into the compartment. 3. Replace the cover. Replace the battery if LO appears 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. CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER CAUTION: You must use a Class ll AC adapter that supplies 9 volts of power, delivers at least 300 milliamps, and has a plug that properly fits the TAD's 9-12V DC jack with its center tip set to negative. 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 barrel plug of the supplied AC adapter into the 9-12V 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 counts down from 59 to 0. The TAD then beeps and CL (clear) flashes on the display. NOTE: 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 and do not hear the beep, reset the TAD by unplugging the adapter from the AC outlet and reinserting it. 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 adapters 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.
