PROBLEM-SOLVING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD, but if you do, the
information in this chart might help. If you still have problems, take the TAD to
your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
Problem
Cause/Solution
The TAD does not answer calls.
• Bad phone line connection. Check and
reconnect.
• Bad AC power connection. Check and
reconnect.
• The TAD is not set to answer calls. Press
ANSWER so the answer indicator lights or
use the remote commands to set it to
answer calls.
• You have not recorded an outgoing mes-
sage. Record the outgoing message.
The TAD does not record the call-
ers’ messages.
The message tape is full. Erase the messages
(see “Erasing Messages”).
The TAD records a dial tone, beep-
ing, or the operator’s voice instead
of the caller’s message.
The caller hung up without leaving a message
or using the maximum time, and the TAD did
not detect 8 seconds of silence.
Recording sound distorted.
• You were too close to the microphone or
you spoke too loudly when you recorded
the outgoing message or memo. Re-
record, speaking from about 12 inches
from the front of the TAD.
• The tape heads are dirty (see “Cleaning
the Tape-Handling Parts”).
• The tape is worn out. Replace the cas-
sette.
