PREPARATION
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.
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
Follow these steps to connect your TAD
to the telephone line and phone.
1. Unplug the telephone’s modular
cord from the modular phone line
jack and plug it into the
PHONE
jack
on the back of the TAD.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modu-
lar cord into the
LINE
jack on the
back of the TAD.
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.
CONNECTING THE AC
ADAPTER
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was
designed specifically for your TAD-795.
Use only the supplied adapter.
1. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
AC 9V
jack on
the back of the TAD.
2. Plug the other end of the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
When you first connect power, the TAD
announces “Please wait,” then runs a
self-test for about 1 minute. After the
test, the TAD beeps and
0
appears in
the message counter window.
Note: The TAD’s message counter win-
dow usually shows the number of mes-
sages. That number alternates with
other displays to tell you the status of
the TAD.
•
A1
appears if you have not record-
ed announcement (outgoing mes-
sage) 1.
•
A2
appears if you have not record-
ed announcement 2.
•
Lo
appears if a backup battery is
weak or missing.
