CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack TAD-1024 Digital Telephone Answering System with Dual-An-
nouncements 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 cir-
cuit 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 prema-
ture 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 de-
tergents to clean the TAD.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty. If your TAD-1024 is not per-
forming as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the
trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-
connect your TAD-1024 until you have resolved the problem.
