If you still have problems, disconnect the TAD-729. 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 phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

The handset stops working or 
works poorly during a call.

Move the handset closer to the base.

Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical position.

Be sure the battery pack is charged. (If the battery 
power is too low, it does not have enough power to light 
the display.)

If the base loses power while the handset is away, the 
security access-protection code might change. Restore 
power to the base, then place the handset back on the 
base. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator lights, indicating 
that the code is set again.

Check the charging contacts on the handset and base. If 
they are dirty, clean them with a pencil eraser.

The TAD does not answer calls.

Make sure the TAD is turned on.

Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected.

Check all phone line connections.

The TAD does not record call-
ers’ messages.

REC TIME

 is set to 

ANN

 (announcement only). Set it to 

1

 

or 

4

.

Delete messages if memory is full.

Low Battery

 flashes on the 

display every few seconds.

Be sure the battery pack is correctly connected.

You have an incoming call, but 
do not receive any Caller ID 
information.

Let the phone ring twice before you answer so the sys-
tem has time to record the Caller ID information.

Check that the system is correctly and securely con-
nected.

Call your phone company to verify that your Caller ID 
service is active.
