PREPARATION
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Select a location for the TAD that is near
a modular telephone line jack and an AC
outlet, and is not in the way of normal
activities.
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
If the AC power fails or you unplug the
TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied)
saves the messages and the settings for
the day, time, and remote operation se-
curity code. We recommend you use an
alkaline battery, such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 23-553.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
the battery compartment cover’s
screw, then slide the cover in the
direction of the arrow and lift it off.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to
the battery connector and place the
battery in the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace the battery when the
ANSWER
indicator flashes.
Cautions:
• Always remove an old or weak bat-
tery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of the old battery promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn it.
• To avoid losing stored information,
be sure the AC adapter is plugged in
and connected to the TAD before
you replace the battery.
CONNECTING THE TAD
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a
modular phone line jack. If your line
jack is not modular, you can update
it yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update it for you.
