TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD-1029, but if you do, the
following suggestions might help.
If you still have problems, disconnect the phone. If other phones on the same line
work properly, the fault is in this phone or its installation. If you cannot find the prob-
lem, take your TAD-1029 to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
