TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD-799, but if you do, the
following suggestions might help.

Problem

Suggestion

The incoming message is 
incomplete.

Be sure the TAD’s memory is not full.

The message was longer than 60 seconds.

The caller was silent for more than 8 seconds.

Lo

 flashes on the message 

counter.

The backup battery is weak. Replace the battery 
(see “Installing a Backup Battery” on Page 6).

TAD does not answer calls.

Make sure the TAD is set to answer calls.

Check all phone line connections.

Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected.

TAD does not record callers’ 
messages.

Memory may be full (

FL

 appears). Delete some of 

your messages.

No messages appear on the 
message counter.

This could be caused by a power failure. Reset the 
TAD by removing the AC adapter and the battery 
from the TAD, then reconnect the adapter and 
reinstall the battery.

The TAD does not respond 
to the remote operation 
security code.

Make sure the phone you used to dial the TAD is a 
touch-tone phone. (If it is not, you can use a 
pocket tone dialer to enter the code and com-
mands.)

Make sure the remote operation security code you 
entered is correct. Try entering the default code of 
799. The TAD may have reset to the default code 
because of a power failure.

Re-enter your security code, pressing each button 
for 2 seconds.
