6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing
the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in an enclosed environment unless proper ventilation
is provided.
7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by
persons walking on it.
8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified serviceman when

INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTTA-160
FEATURES
Caller ID
If you subscribe to a Caller Identification Service (available from most local telephone companies),
the TA-160 can display the name and phone number of incoming calls. With the Caller ID feature,
you can see who is calling before you answer a call.
Call Waiting Caller ID
If you subscribe to a Call Waiting Caller ID service from your local telephone company, the TA-160
can display the name and number of an incoming call while you are already talking to another party
on an extension phone or the speakerphone.
NOTE:
νYou must order the complete package known as “CALL WAITING/CALLER ID” from your local telephone company. If you
simply subscribe to the separate CALL WAITING and CALLER ID services, you will not receive Call Waiting Caller ID
information(Caller identificationof thesecond caller)on yourTA-160.
Local Area Code Setting
If you are planning to use the Caller ID features on the TA-160, be sure to program your local area
code into the TA-160’s memory. The TA-160 needs this information to operate correctly when
dialing stored Caller ID numbers. (see page 8.)
Caller ID Memory
The TA-160 automatically stores the Caller ID names and numbers of the last 75 calls you have
received.
Permanent Memory Back-Up
No battery required. Indefinitely saves greetings, incoming messages and stored Caller ID data, in
the event of a power failure.
Supertwist Nematic (STN) LCD
Advanced LCD technology in your TA-160 provides clear, multi-angle viewing of all LCD elements,
including the caller’s name and phone number if you subscribe to a Caller ID service from your local
telephone company.
Message PreviewTM
This feature plays the first few seconds of each message for quick scanning, and message
identification
Display & Dial

DIGITAL GREETING AND INCOMING MESSAGES
Greetings and incoming messages are recorded on a digital chip - reducing mechanical
components and increasing reliability. The TA-160 allows a total of 14 minutes of combined
recording time for greetings and incoming messages.
Your TA-160 all digital answering machine provides you with the following
advantages:
1. Permanent Memory Back-Up: Does not require a battery during a power failure to
maintain greetings, recorded messages, Caller ID data and the remote access code. The
time and day setting is protected for about 20 minutes.
2. Reliability: There are no moving parts to break. The use of electronic components
effectively increases the life of your machine.
3. Operational Ease: There is no tape to rewind or entangle. You no longer have to worry
about replacing worn or damaged tapes.
4. Instant AccessTM to Messages: All messages are recorded digitally and therefore can be
accessed instantly for playback.
5. Features such as VARIABLE SPEED PLAYBACKTM, SKIP & REPEAT and SELECTIVE
SAVE & ERASE are only possible on all digital machines.
NOTE:
νThe audio quality of digitally recorded incoming messages and greetings may be subtly different than those
recorded on microcassette.
AUTO EXTENSION DISCONNECT
When you answer a call using the speakerphone or an extension phone, the TA-160 will
automatically stop playing the greeting or recording the incoming message. If it does not
stop, briefly press and release the hook-switch on the extension phone.
VOICE ASSISTED OPERATION
When operating the TA-160 at this machine or from a remote telphone, a synthesized voice
confirms machine functions and commands.
TIME/DAY STAMP
No more guess-work to determine the time and day that your messages were recorded. Your
TA-160 will digitally stamp each message with this information.

IMPORTANT!
SALES SLIP OR EVIDENCE OF PURCHASE DATE REQUIRED
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
The limited warranty is extended only to the original consumer of a CASIO PHONEMATE
product and is valid only with respect to consumers within the United States of America and
Canada. Subject to the following conditions, should this product prove defective by reason of
improper workmanship of material:
During the period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, CASIO PHONEMATE will
repair or, at its option, replace the product without charge for parts or labor. If CASIO
PHONEMATE elects to replace the product, such replacement may be accomplished with a
factory-reconditioned unit.
This limited warranty does not apply: (a) to any product damaged by accident, misuse, improper
line voltage, lightning, fire, water, or other acts of nature, (b) if the product is altered or repaired
by anyone other than CASIO PHONEMATE, INC. or one of its authorized warranty stations or if
the FCC-approved connector plugs are removed. This limited warranty does not cover tapes or
broken or marred cabinets.
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, all implied warranties made by CASIO
PHONEMATE in connection with this product are limited in duration to a period of one (1) year
from the date of original purchase, and no warranties, whether expressed or implied, shall apply
to this product after said period.
Should this product prove defective in workmanship or material, the consumer’s sole remedies
shall be such repair or replacement as is herein-above provided. Under no circumstances shall
CASIO PHONEMATE be liable for any loss or damage, direct, consequential, or incidental
arising out of the use of or inability to use this product.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not
apply to you.
In order to obtain warranty service, you must provide evidence of purchase date. For your con-
venience, keep the dealer’s dated bill of sale or delivery ticket as evidence of the purchase date.
To obtain the name of the authorized CASIO PHONEMATE service facility,
call CASIO PHONEMATE ’s HelpLine at
[phone] or [phone].
If you live in an area that is highly susceptible to electrical storms, you may want to purchase a
Lightning Arrestor. The Lightning Arrestor attaches to your answering machine and if lightning
causes a surge through your phone line, the arrestor will help suppress the surge of electricity
which may cause damage to your unit.
To purchase your Lightning Arrestor, use the attached Accessory Order Form or call CASIO
PHONEMATE ’s Parts Department toll free: 1-800-322-9995.
MOVING THETA-160
Unplug the TA-160 from the wall outlet if you
wish to move the unit. All recorded messages,
programmed settings and Caller ID data will be
saved.
Note:
νDo not remove the AC Adaptor plug from the back of
the unit. All recorded messages, Caller ID data and
machinesettings will belost.
MULTI-LINE
INSTALLATION
Installations with more than two lines, such as a
business phone system, may require a separate
RJ11 jack for answering machines. Please
contact your telephone equipment provider for
additional information.
You can use the TA-160 as an extension phone
on a business phone system, but some systems
will require that you install an A+A1 Adapter to
light the in-use indicator on the receptionist’s
console. See the accessory order form on the
last page of this owner’s guide to order an A+A1
Adapter.
TWO-LINE
INSTALLATION
Two-line installations may require a two-line
T-Adapter for your machine to operate correctly.
The T-Adapter allows you to connect your
machine to Line 1 or Line 2. The TA-160 will
only answer one line.

Stored Caller ID numbers can not be dialed.
The TA-160 can make returning phone calls easier by automatically dialing stored Caller ID numbers.
In order for this feature to work correctly, it is necessary to program your local area code into the
unit. (See page 8) This Call Waiting Caller ID answering machine must be installed on a touch-tone
line. Call your telephone company to make sure that you have a touch-tone service and not pulse/
rotary dialing service.

Time and date information of for the call will still be recorded into the TA-160’s memory.
If, for any other reason, the name and/or number information
is currently not available from your local phone company, an

If a caller chooses to partially or completely “block” a call, a
message will appear on the display indicating that the name and/
or phone number has been blocked:
Call Waiting Caller ID does not work
1. You must order the complete package known as Call Waiting Caller ID from your local telephone
company. If you simply subscribe to the separate Call Waiting and Caller ID services, you will not
receive Call Waiting Caller ID information.
2. Turn the TA-160’s Call Waiting Caller ID option on. (see page 8)
3. The telephone company cannot transmit Call Waiting Caller ID information if two or more extension
phones are in use.
No Caller ID data is displayed
Confirm with your telephone company that your subscriptions(s) to Caller ID or Call Waiting Caller ID
services have been activated. Caller ID information will be received within the first two rings.
Recorded messages are cut off.
The TA-160 is designed to disconnect from the line after a caller stops talking. Calls may be cut off if a
four-second pause is detected, if the caller does not speak loud enough, or if the message is less than
four seconds in length.
The TA-160 does not respond when you enter your remote access code during the greeting.
Try re-entering the correct code after the beep.
My incoming messages, greetings and Caller ID information were erased.
Disconnection of the AC Adapter from the back of the unit will cause the TA-160 to lose all recorded
messages, greetings and Caller ID information. This is a built-in feature to assist in troubleshooting any
machine problems. Make sure that you have looped the power cord throught the AC Adaptor Cord
Holder on the back of the unit to prevent accidental disconnection.
Between messages there is an operator recording or a beep and dial tone.
The caller has hung up without leaving a message. A shorter greeting will reduce the frequency of
these recordings.
You have more than one telephone number and are experiencing difficulty.
See Multi-Line Installation, page 36.
There is no sound during playback.
Check and adjust the volume control switch.
Connect the telephone cord to the wall jack and make sure the line is operational.
"NO LINE" appears in the display.
The unit does not automatically stop playing the greeting or recording a message when you
pickup an extension phone.
Briefly press and release the hook-switch on the extension phone.
No Caller ID information is displayed upon playback of a recorded conversation.
Recorded conversations are recorded without Caller ID data. Any Caller ID information is contained
in the recorded message immediately preceding the recorded conversation.
