READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
conforms to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the phone
line draws power from the phone line. We re-
fer to this power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on
the bottom of the TAD.
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (or three in rural ar-
eas), your phone might not ring and your
TAD might not answer. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the line.
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 numbers are on
the bottom of your TAD.
Note: You must not connect your TAD to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Your TAD is ETL listed to UL standards and
meets all applicable FCC standards.

4Features
ˆ Features
Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answer-
ing System is a sophisticated, fully digital
message center.
Fully digital means the TAD (Telephone An-
swering Device) stores all messages on a
computer chip. This gives you advanced ca-
pabilities over tape-based answering ma-
chines. For example, you can save or delete
individual messages.
Because your TAD is fully digital, there are
no tape mechanisms to wear out and no
tapes to bother with.
The TAD has these features:
High Capacity — lets you record up to 20
minutes of messages and memos.
Voice Day/Time Stamp — records the day
and time each message was recorded.
Digitally-Synthesized Voice — guides you
through operation of many of the system’s
features.
Call Screening — lets you listen to incoming
calls so you can decide whether or not to an-
swer a call.
Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops record-
ing a caller’s message when you pick up any
phone on the same line as the TAD, so you
can talk to the caller.
Multiple Outgoing Message (OGM) Capac-
ity — lets you set the TAD to play one of two
outgoing messages then record the caller’s
message, or just play an announcement
without recording a message.
Memo Recording — lets you leave messag-
es for yourself or others in your home or of-
fice.
Remote Operation — lets you use a touch-
tone phone (or rotary phone and pocket tone
dialer) to operate the TAD while you are
away from your home or office.
Programmable Remote Operation Securi-
ty Code — lets you set your own 3-digit se-
curity code for remote operation.
Remote Answer-On — lets you call the TAD
from a remote location and set it to answer
calls.
Adjustable Ring Number — you can set the
TAD to answer after two, four, or seven
rings.
Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary toll
charges when calling long-distance to check
your messages.
Selectable Incoming Message Length —
lets you set the maximum length of a caller’s
message to 1 or 5 minutes.
Memory Full Warning — lets you know
when the TAD’s memory is full.
Memory Backup — protects stored mes-
sages in case of a power failure.
Messages Indicator LED — flashes to let
you know you have new messages.
LED Message Counter — shows the num-
ber of messages the TAD recorded.
Room Monitor — lets you monitor, using a
remote phone, the room where the TAD is in-
stalled for 30 seconds.

Installation
ˆ Installation
Select a location for the TAD that is near
both a telephone jack and an easily accessi-
ble AC outlet, and out of the way of normal
activities.
CONNECTING THE TAD TO
THE PHONE LINE
Notes:
• 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 available at your
local RadioShack store. Or, you can let
the phone company update it.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
1. Unplug your telephone’s modular cord
from the modular phone line jack and
plug it into the TO PHONE jack on the
back of the TAD.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modular
cord into the TO LINE jack on the back of
the TAD.
3. Plug the cord’s other end into the phone
line jack.
CONNECTING POWER
Cautions:
You must use a power source
that supplies 9V DC and deliv-
ers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must
be set to positive and its plug must fit the
TAD’s 9V jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these speci-
fications could damage the TAD or the
adapter.
• Always connect the adapter to the TAD
before you connect it to the power
source. When you finish, disconnect the
AC adapter from the power source
before you disconnect it from the TAD.
Follow these steps to connect the power:
1. Insert the barrel plug of the supplied AC
adapter into the DC 9V 300mA jack on
the back of the TAD.
2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
Each time you connect the TAD to AC pow-
er, the LOW BATTERY indicator lights (if no
backup batteries are installed), and the TAD
initializes itself, then beeps when it finishes.
Notes:
• Do not press any of the TAD’s buttons
while you are plugging the adapter into
the AC outlet. If you accidentally press a
button, reset the TAD by unplugging the
adapter from the AC outlet then re-
inserting it.
• The TAD cannot operate without AC
power.
INSTALLING THE BACKUP
BATTERIES
If AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, four
AAA batteries (not supplied) is needed to
save any recorded messages and the set-

6Preparation
tings for the day, time, and security code. We
recommend you use RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
1. Use a Phillips screw-
driver to remove the
screw on the battery
compartment cover.
2. Place the batteries in
the compartment according to the polar-
ity symbols (+and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with the
screw.
Replace the batteries when the LOW BAT-
TERY indicator lights while the TAD is con-
nected to AC power.
Warning: Dispose of the old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn
them.
Cautions:
• To avoid losing stored information, be
sure the AC adapter is plugged in and
connected to the TAD before you
replace the batteries.
• Always use fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or dif-
ferent types of batteries.

Basic Operation
ˆ Basic Operation
SETTING THE TAD TO
ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD to answer calls, press ON/
OFF. The display turns on and the TAD
beeps twice.
Notes:
• You can use a remote phone to set the
TAD to answer calls (see “Remote Com-
mands” on Page 12).
• To set the TAD to not answer calls, turn
it off by pressing ON/OFF.
When the TAD answers a call, the outgoing
message plays, then the TAD beeps and be-
gins recording.
The caller can leave a message of up to 5
minutes in length depending on the INCOM-
ING setting (see “Setting the Incoming Mes-
sage Length” on Page 8). After the caller
hangs up or is silent for more than 7 sec-
onds, or the maximum message length is
reached, the TAD hangs up and resets to an-
swer the next call. The MESSAGE indicator
flashes to indicate an incoming message has
been recorded.
Notes:
• The MESSAGE indicator flashes rapidly
when the memory is full.
• If the TAD answers a call when its mem-
ory is full, it announces “Memory is full”
and beeps twice, waits 10 seconds for
any remote operation commands, then
hangs up (see “Remote Commands” on
Page 12). The TAD cannot record addi-
tional messages until you delete some
of the old messages (see “Deleting Mes-
sages” on Page 10).
• Many local phone companies use calling
party control (CPC) to signal that the
caller has hung up. Your TAD can recog-
nize a CPC signal and release the line. If
the TAD records phone company mes-
sages or dial tones, your local phone
company probably does not use CPC.
USING THE ANNOUNCE-
ONLY FEATURE
Your TAD’s announce-only feature lets you
set the TAD to play a message for the caller,
then automatically hang up without letting the
caller leave a message.
To select the announce-only mode, slide AN-
NOUNCE SELECT to AO. AO appears. When
the TAD receives a call, it plays the an-
nounce-only message then hangs up.
To turn off announce-only, slide ANNOUNCE
SELECT to either 1 or 2.
Notes:
• You must record an announce-only mes-
sage in order to use this feature.
• When the TAD is set for announce-only,
you cannot set it to record calls using
the remote commands (see “Remote
Commands” on Page 12).

Troubleshooting
ˆ Troubleshooting
We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD, but if you do, try these sugges-
tions. If the TAD still does not operate properly, take it to you local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
CARE
To enjoy your TAD for a long time:
• Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the TAD only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Do
not drop it.
• Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s inter-
nal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
TAD is not performing 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 discon-
nect your TAD until you have resolved the
problem.
Problem Remedy
The TAD does not answer calls. Check all phone line connections.
Make sure the AC adapter is properly con-
nected.
TAD is full. Delete messages.
TAD is not turned on. Press ON/OFF.
The outgoing announcement is distorted. Re-record the announcement, speaking in a
normal tone of voice about 8 inches from the
TAD.
The TAD does not respond to remote commands. Carefully re-enter your remote operation secu-
rity code. If the TAD fails to respond, the secu-
rity code might have reset to the default code.
Enter the default remote security code (500).
Check for a power outage. Make sure the AC
power is connected to the wall outlet and the
9V DC adapter is properly connected to the
TAD.
Do not enter commands while the TAD is mak-
ing announcements or sounding tones.

14 Troubleshooting
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of your
TAD. The telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interruption of
your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your TAD during storms to reduce the possi-
bility of damage.
