Serial Number: __________________
This telephone has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.

Note: Your phone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for
other radio units operating on similar
frequencies, within a certain area, to
inadvertently intercept your conversa-
tions and/or cause interference on
your cordless telephone. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When the AC power is off, you cannot
dial out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-268. For this reason, the
TAD-268 should not be your only tele-
phone. To be safe, you should also
have a phone that does not require AC
power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so you can still make and re-
ceive calls if there is an AC power fail-
ure.

INSTALLATION
Important: After you select a location
for the phone (see “Selecting a Loca-
tion”), you must install the phone in the
following order before you use it for the
first time.
1. Connect the battery to the hand-
set (see “Connecting the Bat-
tery”).
2. Install the microcassette tape (see
“Installing the Tape” on Page 9).
3. Connect the base to power (see
“Connecting to Power” on Page
9).
4. Charge the phone’s battery (see
“Charging the Battery” on Page
10).
5. Connect the base to your phone
line (see “Connecting the Base to
the Phone Line” on Page 11).
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the TAD that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a modular phone line jack
• Out of the way of normal activities
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• Away from other cordless phones
The base’s location affects the phone’s
range. If you have a choice of several
locations, try each to see which pro-
vides the best performance.
Note: Your phone operates on fre-
quencies that might cause interference
to TVs or VCRs. To prevent or mini-
mize such interference, avoid placing
the base on top of or near a TV or
VCR. If you notice interference, in-
crease the distance between the base
and the TV or VCR, or reorient or relo-
cate the receiving antenna on the TV/
VCR.
CONNECTING THE
BATTERY
Your TAD comes with a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery installed. How-
ever, you must plug in the battery and
charge it for about 24 hours before you
use the phone for the first time.
Follow these steps to plug in the bat-
tery.
1. While pressing down and holding
the battery compartment cover on
the back of the handset, slide it
down to open it.
43-738.fm Page 8 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

9
2. Attach the connector on the bat-
tery to the connector inside the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment
cover.
After you connect the battery, you
must set up the base then charge the
battery.
INSTALLING THE TAPE
Follow these steps to install the sup-
plied microcassette tape.
1. Turn the supplied microcassette’s
hub with a pencil to take up any
tape slack.
2. Lift up on the left side of the cas-
sette compartment cover on top of
the base to open it.
3. Install the microcassette in the
cassette compartment with the
open edge of the cassette on the
left and the full reel toward the
front of the TAD.
Notes:
• You can buy additional microcas-
settes or microcassettes of a dif-
ferent length at your local Radio
Shack store.
• Replace the tape at least once a
year — more often if it is used
heavily.
CONNECTING TO
POWER
1. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the DC IN 7.5V jack on the
back of the base, then thread the
supplied AC adapter’s cord
through the strain relief slot under
the base.
Note: Use only the supplied AC
adapter as your phone’s 7.5V DC
500 mA power source.
43-738.fm Page 9 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

10
2. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet. The TAD positions the
tape for operation, which takes up
to 1 minute.
Note: If there is no backup outgo-
ing announcement on the mes-
sage tape, the TAD beeps. If there
is a backup outgoing announce-
ment on the message tape, the
TAD automatically restores the
announcement from the tape into
memory. See “Recording an Out-
going Announcement” on Page
22.
CHARGING THE
BATTERY
You must charge the battery in the
handset for at least 24 hours before
you connect the phone to the phone
line and use the phone for the first
time.
You can recharge the battery at any
time, but be sure to recharge it when
the CHARGE indicator on the handset
flashes.
To charge or recharge the battery,
place the handset on the cradle. The
CHARGE indicator lights.
Notes:
• When you place the handset on
the cradle, the system’s security
access-protection code automati-
cally activates. This prevents
other cordless phones from using
your telephone line.
• If the CHARGE indicator does not
stay lit when you place the hand-
set on the cradle, be sure the AC
adapter is properly connected.
Also, check the charging contacts
on the handset and base. If the
contacts are dirty or tarnished,
clean them with a pencil eraser.
• A full charge lasts about 24 hours
if you leave the handset off the
base and do not make any calls.
Be sure to return the handset to
the base when you see the
CHARGE indicator blinking.
43-738.fm Page 10 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

11
• About once a month, fully dis-
charge the battery. Otherwise, the
battery loses its ability to fully
recharge. To fully discharge the
battery, set RINGER on the side of
the handset to LO or HI and keep
the handset off the cradle until the
CHARGE indicator starts to flash.
Then return the handset to the
cradle and fully recharge the bat-
tery.
• For the best performance, you
should replace the supplied bat-
tery (Cat. No. 23-192, available
from your local Radio Shack
store) about once a year — more
often if it is used heavily. When
the battery cannot fully recharge,
replace it with a new one. See
“Replacing the Battery’’ on Page
48.
CONNECTING THE BASE
TO THE PHONE LINE
1. Plug one end of the supplied mod-
ular cord into the TEL LINE jack on
the back of the base.
2. Plug the other end of the cord into
a modular phone line jack.
Notes:
• If the phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, update the wiring. You
can convert the wiring yourself,
using jacks and adapters avail-
able at your local Radio Shack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update the wiring for
you.
• The phone company will charge
you for the installation of neces-
sary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C.
ADJUSTING THE BASE’S
ANTENNA
For the best reception, fully extend the
base’s antenna and position it vertical-
ly.
43-738.fm Page 11 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

12
USING THE BELT CLIP
The supplied belt clip makes it easier
to use the handset when you are on
the go. Simply slide the belt clip over
your belt or waistband.
To attach the belt clip, press it onto the
back of the handset as shown.
To remove the belt clip, simply lift up
on either side of the clip where it at-
taches to the handset.
43-738.fm Page 12 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

13
TELEPHONE PREPARATION
Complete the procedures in this sec-
tion before you use your telephone.
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set DIAL on the back of the base for
the type of service you have — tone or
pulse (rotary). If you are not sure which
type you have, do this test.
1. Set DIAL to TONE.
2. Lift the handset from the cradle, or
press TALK on the handset, and
listen for a dial tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
Note: If your phone system re-
quires that you dial an access
code (9, for example) before you
dial an outside number, do not
enter the access code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have touch-
tone service. Leave DIAL set to TONE.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set DIAL to PULSE and
return the handset to the cradle.
SETTING THE VOLUME
Your TAD has the following volume
controls:
Base Volume: Set VOLUME on the
back of the base to OFF, LO, or HI to
adjust the message playback and in-
tercom volume.
Handset Receiver Volume: Set VOL-
UME on the side of the handset to LO
or HI to control the volume you hear
from the handset.
Handset Rin
g
er Volume: Set RINGER
on the side of the handset to OFF, LO,
or HI to control the handset’sringer vol-
ume.
43-738.fm Page 13 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

14
Notes:
• When RINGER on the handset is
set to OFF and the handset is off
the base, all the indicators on the
handset turn off to save battery
power. You can still make and
answer calls even if RINGER on
the handset is set to OFF.
• When you receive a call and
RINGER
on the handset is set to
OFF, the ringer does not sound
and the TALK indicator does not
blink on the handset. However,
the IN USE indicator on the base
blinks and other phones on the
same line still ring. Simply press
TALK on the handset or lift it from
the cradle to answer the call (see
“Making/Answering a Call” on
Page 15).
43-738.fm Page 14 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

15
USING THE TELEPHONE
Be sure you have completed the pro-
cedures in “Installation” on Page 8 and
“Telephone Preparation” on Page 13
before you begin using the telephone.
CONFIRMATION AND
ERROR TONES
When you press a button, the phone
sounds a brief tone to indicate that it
accepted the command. If three error
tones sound, you pressed a button in
error, you are out of range, the battery
is low, or there is too much interfer-
ence. Move the handset closer to the
base and try again, or recharge the
battery.
MAKING/ANSWERING A
CALL
The quick call function automatically
gives you a dial tone when you lift the
handset from the cradle. (To turn off
quick call, see “Turning Quick Call
Off”).
To make a call (with quick call on), sim-
ply pick up the handset from the cra-
dle, or, if the handset is not on the
cradle, press TALK on the handset until
the TALK indicator on the handset
lights. When you hear a dial tone, dial
the phone number.
To answer a call (with quick call on),
pick up the handset from the cradle, or,
if the handset is not on the cradle,
press
TALK on the handset.
When you are finished with the call,
hang up by either pressing TALK so the
TALK indicator turns off, or return the
handset to the cradle.
Turning Quick Call Off
The quick call function is preset to
on
at the factory, but you can turn it off.
Follow these steps if you want to can-
cel this function so the phone does not
give you a dial tone when you lift the
handset from the cradle.
1. If the TALK indicator on the hand-
set is on, press TALK to turn it off.
2. If the ANSWER or ANN ONLY
indicator on the base is on, press
ERASE/STOP to turn it off.
43-738.fm Page 15 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

16
3. Press then MEMORY on the
handset. The HOLD/INT indicator
on the handset blinks and a long
beep sounds.
4. Within 30 seconds, press FLASH
then #on the handset.
Note: If you do not press FLASH
and #within 30 seconds, the
HOLD/INT indicator on the hand-
set turns off and the handset
beeps twice. Repeat this proce-
dure from Step 3.
5. Press MEMORY on the handset to
store the new setting. The HOLD/
INT indicator turns off and a long
beep sounds.
To restore the quick call function, re-
peat Steps 1-5, but press instead of
#in Step 4.
CHANGING CHANNELS
To reduce interference and get the
clearest communications between the
base and handset, you can change the
channelthe phone is using. The phone
uses one of 25 channels when you
hear a dial tone or during a call. When
you press CHANNEL, the phone auto-
matically changes to another channel
and uses that one.
Notes:
• Since unwanted noise usually
affects more than one consecutive
channel, the phone does not tune
to the next consecutive channel
when you press CHANNEL.
• Either the TALK or HOLD/INT indi-
cator on the handset must be on
to change the channel.
• If the handset is too far from the
base, the phone might not change
channels. Move closer to the base
and try again.
USING FLASH
Pressing FLASH sends the electronic
equivalent of a switchhook signal. Use
FLASH with special phone company
services such as call waiting.
If you have call waiting, you can press
FLASH to take an incoming call without
disconnecting the current call. Press
FLASH
again to return to the first call.
43-738.fm Page 16 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

17
Notes:
• Do not press FLASH to hang up
the phone.
• The redial memory does not store
a FLASH entry or any digits you
pressed after FLASH.
• If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing FLASH
might disconnect the current call.
USING REDIAL
To quickly redial the last number di-
aled, press PAUSE/REDIAL on the
handset when you hear a dial tone.
The phone automatically dials the last
number dialed.
Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 40
digits, so you can redial long-
distance as well as local phone
numbers.
• The redial memory also holds
pause entries. See “Storing a
Pause” on Page 20.
• If you have pulse service, we rec-
ommend that you do not use the
redial feature for numbers that
include a tone change entry, be-
cause the one-second pause fol-
lowing the mode change might not
be long enough to allow the spe-
cial service to answer. See “Using
Tone Services on a Pulse Line.”
USING TONE SERVICES
ON A PULSE LINE
Some special services, such as bank-
by-phone, require tone signals. If you
have pulse service, you can still use
these special tone services by follow-
ing these steps.
1. Be sure DIAL on the back of the
base is set to PULSE.
2. Dial the service’s main number.
3. When the service answers, press
TONE/# on the handset. Any addi-
tional numbers you dial now are
sent as tone signals.
4. After you complete the call, return
the handset to the cradle or press
TALK. The phone automatically
resets to the pulse mode.
43-738.fm Page 17 Friday, August 13, 1999 1:51 PM

18
USING HOLD
To put a caller on hold, press HOLD/IN-
TERCOM on the handset so the TALK
indicator blinks and the HOLD/INT in-
dicator lights.
To return to the call, press TALK.
Notes:
• If you pick up another phone con-
nected to the same telephone line
while a call is on hold, the TAD-
268 automatically releases the
hold and you can talk with the
caller.
• After you put a call on hold, you
can use the handset to talk to a
person at the base using the inter-
com feature. See “Using the Inter-
com.”
• If you do not release a call on hold
within 5 minutes, the handset
beeps for 1 minute, then the
phone automatically hangs up.
USING THE INTERCOM
Use the intercom feature when you
want to talk with someone at the hand-
set or the base.
Follow these steps to call from the
handset to the base.
1. Press HOLD/INTERCOM on the
handset. The base rings three
times, then the base’s speaker
and microphone automatically
turn on. You can talk with some-
one at the base.
2. When you complete your conver-
sation, press HOLD/INTERCOM on
the handset again, or the person
at the base can press INTERCOM.
Follow these steps to call from the
base to the handset.

to store, including any PAUSE/
REDIAL
and
TONE/#
entries. (See
“Storing a Pause” on Page 20
and “Using Tone Services on a
Pulse Line” on Page 17.)
Notes:
• Each PAUSE/REDIAL or TONE/#
entry uses one digit of memory.
• If you have pulse service and
want to store a number, we rec-
ommend that you do not store a
number that includes a TONE/#
entry. The one-second pause
following the mode change
might not be long enough to
allow the special service to
answer. See “Using Tone Ser-
vices on a Pulse Line” on Page
17.
6. Press MEMORY to store the num-
ber into the selected location. A
long beep sounds and the HOLD/
INT indicator turns off.
7. To store more numbers, repeat
Steps 3-6.
Notes:
• If you receive a call while you
store a number in memory, press
TALK to answer the call. After the
call, begin again at Step 2 to store
the number.

• To change a number you already
stored, store a new one in its
place.
• To delete a number from memory,
repeat Steps 2-6, but do not enter
a phone number in Step 5.
Storing a Pause
In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (9, for example)
and wait for a second dial tone before
you can dial an outside number.
You can store the access code with the
phone number. However, you must
also store a pause after the access
code to allow the outside line time to
connect. To do so, press PAUSE/REDI-
AL at the appropriate place to enter a
2-second pause. For a longer pause,
press PAUSE/REDIAL additional times.
Dialing a Stored Number
1. Lift the handset from the cradle or
press TALK and listen for a dial
tone.
2. When you hear a dial tone, press
MEMORY, then use the number
keys to enter the memory location
code (0-9).
Important: When you test a stored
number of an emergency service,
make the test call in the off-peak
hours, such as late evening or early
morning, and remain on the line to ex-
plain the reason for your call.
Chain-Dialing from Memory
When you use special services such
as alternate long-distance or bank-by-
phone, you can store the service’s
phone number in one memory loca-
tion, and any other numbers, such as
the long-distance number, in another
location. This lets you easily dial a long
sequence of numbers.
Follow these steps to chain-dial mem-
ory numbers.
1. Press MEMORY, then use the
number keys to enter the memory
location code for the service’s
main number.
2. Wait for the service to answer.
3. Press MEMORY, then enter the
memory location code for any
remaining numbers.
Notes:
• If you use pulse dialing to dial the
service, after the service answers,
press TONE/# before you enter
memory location codes, or save
TONE/# as the first entry in a
stored number.
• If you move from an area that
uses pulse dialing to an area that
uses tone dialing, you no longer
have to press TONE/# to change
the dialing mode. Therefore, if you
previously stored any phone num-
bers into memory that included
TONE/# entries, you must re-enter
them.
