INSTALLATION
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC Registration Number and the
REN to your phone company. Both num-
bers are on the label on the bottom of the
TAD.
Your TAD conforms to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
you connect to the phone line draws
power from the phone line. We refer to
this power draw is the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The REN
is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.
You must not connect the TAD to any of
the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five (or
three in rural areas), your phone(s)
might not ring and your TAD might not
answer. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
• Most electronic key phone systems

INSTALLATION
TEL. LINE Jack
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location that is near both a mod-
ular telephone jack and an AC outlet.
Your TAD connects directly to a modu-
lar phone line jack. If the phone line jack
is not a modular jack, you must update
the wiring. You can convert the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters avail-
able 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.
You can also connect a telephone to the
TEL. jack on the back of the TAD using a
second modular phone cord (not sup-
plied).
TEL. Jack
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
To connect the TAD to the phone line,
plug one end of the supplied modular
cord into the TEL. LINE jack on the back
of the TAD. Then plug the cord’s other
end into a modular phone line jack.
CONNECTING POWER
Insert the supplied adapter’s barrel plug
into the DC 9V jack on the back of the
TAD. Then plug the adapter’s other end
into a standard AC outlet.
DC 9V Jack

43-784.fm Page 7 Monday, August 16, 1999 7:47 AM
Caution: The supplied adapter supplies
9 volts AC, delivers at least 400 milli-
amps, and has a plug which properly fits

the battery compartment cover.
DC 9V
the TAD’s
jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
might damage the TAD or the adapter.
When you first connect power, the TAD
beeps once and the message counter
counts up from 0 to 10. Then the TAD
beeps. A1, A2, Lo, CLand 0alternately
appear to indicate that no outgoing mes-
sages are recorded, and the day/time
stamp is not set.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to
the battery connector, then place
the battery into the compartment.
INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD requires AC power to operate.
However, if AC power fails or you unplug
the TAD-1024, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the
settings for the day, time, and security
code. We recommend you use an alka-
line battery, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-553.
3. Replace the cover.
When the battery is low and needs re-
placing, Loappears on the display. Be
sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in
so you do not lose the TAD’s stored in-
formation, then replace the battery. After
the battery is installed, A1, A2, CL, and
0alternately appear.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
Follow these steps to install the backup
battery.

REMOTE OPERATION
You can operate the TAD from almost
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (avail-
able at your local RadioShack store).
REMOTE ANSWER-ON
Note: An outgoing message must be re-
corded before you can remotely set the
TAD to answer calls.
Notes:
To set the TAD to answer calls, dial your
phone number. The TAD answers the
call after 10 rings and sounds two beeps.
• When the memory is full, the TAD
answers the call after eight rings
and plays OGM 2 (the announce-
ment-only message).
Enter the remote operation security
code within 8 seconds. The TAD sounds
one long and one short beep and plays
the OGM 1 message.
• To bypass the outgoing message
and begin recording a message im-
mediately when you call the TAD
from a remote phone, you can
press # during the announcement.
The TAD skips the rest of the an-
nouncement, beeps once, and be-
gins recording.
You can hang up at this point and the
TAD is set to answer calls. Or, you can
now enter other remote command(s).
If the TAD records over 8 seconds of si-
lence, it automatically disconnects.
• If the TAD is set to toll saver, it an-
swers after two rings if you have
new messages (ones you have not
played). If there are no new mes-
sages, the TAD waits for four rings
before it answers. This gives you
time to hang up before the TAD an-
swers so you can avoid unneces-
sary long-distance charges. See
“Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 10.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack TAD-1024 Digital Telephone Answering System with Dual-An-
nouncements is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for the TAD so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.
Use and store the TAD only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices
and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-
tergents to clean the TAD.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty. If your TAD-1024 is not per-
forming 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 dis-
connect your TAD-1024 until you have resolved the problem.

one or more of the following corrective
measures:
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD caus-
es problems on the telephone line, the
telephone company attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company noti-
fies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
radio or TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
TAD and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the TAD and the radio or
TV.
Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this TAD. The telephone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance so you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone services.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surg-
es in telephone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed
the FCC requirements. However, light-
ning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your TAD.
Your TAD complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-
vide reasonable protection against radio
and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your TAD might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the TAD during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
