Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD, but if you do, try these sugges-
tions. If the TAD still does not operate properly, take it to you local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
CARE
To enjoy your TAD for a long time:
• Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the TAD only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Do
not drop it.
• Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s inter-
nal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
TAD is not performing 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 discon-
nect your TAD until you have resolved the
problem.
Problem
Remedy
The TAD does not answer calls.
Check all phone line connections.
Make sure the AC adapter is properly con-
nected.
TAD is full. Delete messages.
TAD is not turned on. Press ON/OFF.
The outgoing announcement is distorted.
Re-record the announcement, speaking in a
normal tone of voice about 8 inches from the
TAD.
The TAD does not respond to remote commands.
Carefully re-enter your remote operation secu-
rity code. If the TAD fails to respond, the secu-
rity code might have reset to the default code.
Enter the default remote security code (500).
Check for a power outage. Make sure the AC
power is connected to the wall outlet and the
9V DC adapter is properly connected to the
TAD.
Do not enter commands while the TAD is mak-
ing announcements or sounding tones.
