INSTALLATION

Your TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

conforms 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 phone line. We re-

fer to this power draw as the device’s ringer

equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on

the bottom of the TAD.

If you use more than one phone or other de-

vice on the line, add up all the RENs. If the

total is more than five (or three in rural ar-

eas), your phone might not ring and your

TAD might not answer. If ringer operation is

impaired, remove a device 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 are 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

Your TAD is ETL listed to UL standards and

meets all applicable FCC standards.

4Features

Features

Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answer-

ing System is a sophisticated, fully digital

message center.

Fully digital means the TAD (Telephone An-

swering Device) stores all messages on a

computer chip. This gives you advanced ca-

pabilities over tape-based answering ma-

chines. For example, you can save or delete

individual messages.

Because your TAD is fully digital, there are

no tape mechanisms to wear out and no

tapes to bother with.

The TAD has these features:

High Capacity — lets you record up to 20

minutes of messages and memos.

Voice Day/Time Stamp — records the day

and time each message was recorded.

Digitally-Synthesized Voice — guides you

through operation of many of the system’s

features.

Call Screening — lets you listen to incoming

calls so you can decide whether or not to an-

swer a call.

Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops record-

ing a caller’s message when you pick up any

phone on the same line as the TAD, so you

can talk to the caller.

Multiple Outgoing Message (OGM) Capac-

ity — lets you set the TAD to play one of two

outgoing messages then record the caller’s

message, or just play an announcement

without recording a message.

Memo Recording — lets you leave messag-

es for yourself or others in your home or of-

fice.

Remote Operation — lets you use a touch-

tone phone (or rotary phone and pocket tone

dialer) to operate the TAD while you are

away from your home or office.

Programmable Remote Operation Securi-

ty Code — lets you set your own 3-digit se-

curity code for remote operation.

Remote Answer-On — lets you call the TAD

from a remote location and set it to answer

calls.

Adjustable Ring Number — you can set the

TAD to answer after two, four, or seven

rings.

Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary toll

charges when calling long-distance to check

your messages.

Selectable Incoming Message Length —

lets you set the maximum length of a caller’s

message to 1 or 5 minutes.

Memory Full Warning — lets you know

when the TAD’s memory is full.

Memory Backup — protects stored mes-

sages in case of a power failure.

Messages Indicator LED — flashes to let

you know you have new messages.

LED Message Counter — shows the num-

ber of messages the TAD recorded.

Room Monitor — lets you monitor, using a

remote phone, the room where the TAD is in-

stalled for 30 seconds.

Installation

Select a location for the TAD that is near

both a telephone jack and an easily accessi-

ble AC outlet, and out of the way of normal

activities.

CONNECTING THE TAD TO

THE PHONE LINE

Notes:

• 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 RadioShack store. Or, you can let

the phone company update it.

• The USOC number of the jack to be

installed is RJ11C.

1. Unplug your telephone’s modular cord

from the modular phone line jack and

plug it into the TO PHONE 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 the phone

line jack.

CONNECTING POWER

Cautions:

You must use a power source

that supplies 9V DC and deliv-

ers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must

be set to positive and its plug must fit the

TAD’s 9V jack. The supplied adapter

meets these specifications. Using an

adapter that does not meet these speci-

fications could damage the TAD or the

adapter.

• Always connect the adapter to the TAD

before you connect it to the power

source. When you finish, disconnect the

AC adapter from the power source

before you disconnect it from the TAD.

Follow these steps to connect the power:

1. Insert the barrel plug of the supplied AC

adapter into the DC 9V 300mA jack on

the back of the TAD.

2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter

into a standard AC outlet.

Each time you connect the TAD to AC pow-

er, the LOW BATTERY indicator lights (if no

backup batteries are installed), and the TAD

initializes itself, then beeps when it finishes.

Notes:

• Do not 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 then re-

inserting it.

• The TAD cannot operate without AC

power.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP

BATTERIES

If AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, four

AAA batteries (not supplied) is needed to

save any recorded messages and the set-

43-723.fm Page 5 Monday, May 22, 2000 10:26 AM

6Preparation

tings for the day, time, and security code. We

recommend you use RadioShack alkaline

batteries.

1. Use a Phillips screw-

driver to remove the

screw on the battery

compartment cover.

2. Place the batteries in

the compartment according to the polar-

ity symbols (+and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover and secure it with the

screw.

Replace the batteries when the LOW BAT-

TERY indicator lights while the TAD is con-

nected to AC power.

Warning: Dispose of the old batteries

promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn

them.

Cautions:

• To avoid losing stored information, be

sure the AC adapter is plugged in and

connected to the TAD before you

replace the batteries.

• Always use fresh batteries of the

required size and type.

• Always remove old or weak batteries.

Batteries can leak chemicals that can

destroy electronic parts.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or dif-

ferent types of batteries.

Preparation

RECORDING THE

OUTGOING MESSAGES

(OGM)

The TAD has a built-in outgoing message

that says, “Hello, please leave a message af-

ter the tone.” Use this message or record

your own. The TAD lets you record three

separate messages, and it operates differ-

ently based on which message you select

(see “Using the Announce-Only Feature” on

Page 9).

OGM 1 and 2. After playing your outgo-

ing message (either the built-in mes-

sage or one you record), the TAD lets

callers record a message of up to 1 or 5

minutes.

AO (announcement only). The TAD

plays your outgoing message, but does

not let the caller record a message.

Follow these steps to record an OGM.

Note: The maximum length for each outgo-

ing message is 3 minutes. As you record, the

display counts up the recording time and

beeps when you reach the maximum mes-

sage length.

1. Slide ANNOUNCE SELECT to 1, 2, or AO

to select the message you want to

record.

the length of incoming messages.

CHECKING AN OGM

Follow these steps to check any OGM at any

time.

1. Slide ANNOUNCE SELECT to 1, 2, or AO

to select the desired OGM.

2. Press ANNOUNCE to play the OGM.

3. To stop the outgoing message before it

ends, press STOP.

SETTING THE NUMBER OF

RINGS

The ring select switch on the right side of the

TAD controls how long the TAD waits before

it answers a call. Slide the switch to the ap-

propriate position.

2— The TAD answers after two rings.

4— The TAD answers after four rings.

7— The TAD answers after seven rings.

TS (Toll Saver) — If there are new messages,

the TAD answers after two rings. Otherwise,

the TAD answers after four rings. This lets

you avoid unnecessary charges when calling

by long-distance to check your messages. If

you hear more than two rings, you know you

can hang up because the TAD has no new

messages.

43-723.fm Page 8 Monday, May 22, 2000 10:26 AM

Basic Operation

SETTING THE TAD TO

ANSWER CALLS

To set the TAD to answer calls, press ON/

OFF. The display turns on and the TAD

beeps twice.

Notes:

• You can use a remote phone to set the

TAD to answer calls (see “Remote Com-

mands” on Page 12).

• To set the TAD to not answer calls, turn

it off by pressing ON/OFF.

When the TAD answers a call, the outgoing

message plays, then the TAD beeps and be-

gins recording.

The caller can leave a message of up to 5

minutes in length depending on the INCOM-

ING setting (see “Setting the Incoming Mes-

sage Length” on Page 8). After the caller

hangs up or is silent for more than 7 sec-

onds, or the maximum message length is

reached, the TAD hangs up and resets to an-

swer the next call. The MESSAGE indicator

flashes to indicate an incoming message has

been recorded.

Notes:

• The MESSAGE indicator flashes rapidly

when the memory is full.

• If the TAD answers a call when its mem-

ory is full, it announces “Memory is full”

and beeps twice, waits 10 seconds for

any remote operation commands, then

hangs up (see “Remote Commands” on

Page 12). The TAD cannot record addi-

tional messages until you delete some

of the old messages (see “Deleting Mes-

sages” on Page 10).

• Many local phone companies use calling

party control (CPC) to signal that the

caller has hung up. Your TAD can recog-

nize a CPC signal and release the line. If

the TAD records phone company mes-

sages or dial tones, your local phone

company probably does not use CPC.

USING THE ANNOUNCE-

ONLY FEATURE

Your TAD’s announce-only feature lets you

set the TAD to play a message for the caller,

then automatically hang up without letting the

caller leave a message.

To select the announce-only mode, slide AN-

NOUNCE SELECT to AO. AO appears. When

the TAD receives a call, it plays the an-

nounce-only message then hangs up.

To turn off announce-only, slide ANNOUNCE

SELECT to either 1 or 2.

Notes:

• You must record an announce-only mes-

sage in order to use this feature.

• When the TAD is set for announce-only,

you cannot set it to record calls using

the remote commands (see “Remote

Commands” on Page 12).
