Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD, but if you do, these suggestions
might help.
If you still have problems, disconnect the TAD. If other phones on the same line work properly,
the fault is in this TAD or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the TAD to your lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance.

use a pocket tone dialer.
Re-enter your remote operation security code, pressing each button for 2
seconds.
Make sure the remote operation security code you entered is correct, or
try entering the default code of 705. The remote operation security code

Batteries are weak or not installed and AC adapter is not connected.
The TAD dials 1+ area code

local number from a Caller
ID record.
Store the local area code (see “Setting the Area Code” on Page 9).
The TAD can receive and
display Caller ID records but
does not operate.
Make sure the AC power is properly connected. If the AC power fails, the
TAD can receive Caller ID recorders but cannot operate with only backup
battery power.
