FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-1028 Digital An-
swering System Telephone with Time/
Day Voice Stamp is a combination
multi-feature telephone and high-quality
fully-digital answering system. Fully dig-
ital means the TAD-1028 stores all
messages on a computer chip — there
are no tape mechanisms to wear out
and no tapes to bother with. This gives
you capabilities that tape-based an-
swering machines do not have. For ex-
ample, you can move quickly from
message to message without listening
to every one.
The TAD-1028’s 14-minute memory ca-
pacity lets you store more messages
than many other telephone answering
devices. And, its unique, space-saving
design makes it ideal for placing on any
desk or nightstand, or mounting on a
wall. Your TAD-1028’s remote control
features let you retrieve messages from
almost any touch-tone phone. With an
optional pocket tone dialer, you can
even use it from a rotary phone.
Note: Your TAD-1028 requires a 9-volt
battery (not supplied) for memory back-
up.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your TAD-1028 conforms to federal
regulations, 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 as the device’s
ringer equivalence number
, or REN.
The REN is on the label on the bottom
of the TAD.
If you use 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.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-1028 complies with Part 68
of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your telephone compa-
ny. Both numbers are on the label on
the bottom of the TAD.
Note: You must not connect the TAD-
1028 to any of the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone systems

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
The TAD requires AC power to operate.
However, if AC power fails or you un-
plug the TAD-1028, a 9-volt backup bat-
tery (not supplied) saves the messages
and the settings for the day, time, and
remote operation security code. We
recommend you use an alkaline battery,
such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
Note:
The telephone operates normally
during a power failure; however, the
TAD cannot answer or record incoming
calls without AC power.
Follow these steps to install the backup
battery.
1. With a flat-blade screwdriver under
the tab on the battery compartment
cover, pry open the cover, then lift it
off.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly
to the TAD-1028’s connector and
put the battery in the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
After power is connected (see “Mount-
ing the TAD”), when the battery is weak
or not installed, the ANSWER indicator
flashes. If you are replacing a weak bat-
tery, be sure the AC adapter’s cord is
plugged in so you do not lose the TAD-
1028’s stored information.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
MOUNTING THE TAD
Select a location that is near both a
modular telephone jack and an AC out-
let. You can place the TAD on a desk, or
mount it on a wall plate or directly on a
wall.
Your TAD-1028 connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If the 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 telephone
company update the wiring for you. The
USOC number of the jack to be installed
is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack.

Note: Adjust VOLUME to the middle po-
sition before connecting power.
Caution: The supplied adapter sup-
plies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 440
milliamps, and has a plug which proper-
ly fits the TAD-1028’s AC 9V 440mA
jack. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications might dam-
age the TAD or the adapter.
On a Desk Top
Follow these steps when you place the
TAD on a desk, shelf, or table.
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TO LINE jack
on the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
3. Plug one end of the supplied coiled
handset cord into the jack on the
bottom of the base. Plug the other
end into the handset’s jack.
4. Place the handset in the cradle.
5. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s

When you first connect power, the
PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes rap-
idly (until you record the outgoing
message), the ANSWER indicator
flashes (if you did not install a
backup battery), and the TAD-1028
automatically runs a self-test for
about 10 seconds. You cannot
operate the TAD during this test.
When the test is complete, the
TAD-1028 beeps once and
announces, “Answer off.”
On a Wall Plate
1. Plug one end of the supplied short
modular cord into the TO LINE jack
on the back of the base.

PREPARATION
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set TONE/PULSE on the handset for the
type of service you have. If you are not
sure which type you have, do this test.
1. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.
2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial
tone.
3. Press any number other than 0.
Note: If your phone system
requires that you dial an access
code (9, for example) before you
dial an outside number, do not
press the access code either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave TONE/
PULSE
set to TONE.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set TONE/PULSE to
PULSE.
SETTING THE DAY AND
TIME
The answering system records the day
and time of the call with each phone
message. Follow these steps to set the
current day and time.
Notes:
• To avoid having to reset the day
and time if AC power is lost, we
recommend you install a backup
battery before you set the day and
time. See “Installing a Backup Bat-
tery” on Page 6.
• If you do not complete each step
within 8 seconds, the TAD-1028
sounds a three-tone beep and
stops setting the day and time.
Start again at Step 1.
1. Use a straightened paper clip to
hold down CLOCK until the TAD-
1028 beeps. The TAD then
announces, “Sunday.”
Note: If necessary, adjust VOLUME.

ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD-1028 to an-
swer calls and record messages, you
must record the outgoing message
(OGM) the caller hears when the TAD
answers a call. Your outgoing message
can be up to 60 seconds long.
1. Hold down OGM/REPEAT until the
TAD-1028 beeps.
Note: If memory is full, the PLAY/
SKIP indicator flashes, the TAD-
1028 announces, “Memory is full,”
and you cannot record the outgoing
message. Delete old messages to
make room in memory (see “Delet-
ing Messages” on Page 19).
2. Speak your message in a normal
voice from about 8 inches in front
of the TAD.
Important: Do not tell callers you
are not home. Instead, say that you
cannot come to the phone right
now.
3. The TAD-1028 automatically stops
recording after 60 seconds, or you
can press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE
when you finish the message. The
TAD-1028 beeps and automatically
plays back the outgoing message.
To play the outgoing message at any
time, press OGM/REPEAT. If no outgo-
ing message is recorded, the TAD-1028
says, “No announcement.”
SETTING THE NUMBER
OF RINGS
The 4/7/TS switch controls how long the
TAD-1028 waits before it answers a
call.

4— The TAD-1028 answers after four
rings.
7— The TAD-1028 answers after sev-
en rings.
TS (Toll Saver) — If there are new mes-
sages, the TAD-1028 answers after
two rings. Otherwise, the TAD answers
after four rings. This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD-1028 answers
so you can avoid unnecessary long-
distance charges.
SETTING THE TAD-1028
TO ANSWER CALLS
To set the TAD-1028 to answer calls,
press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE.
• If an outgoing message is re-
corded, the TAD-1028 announces,
“Answer on,” and the ANSWER in-
dicator lights.
• If no outgoing message is
recorded, the TAD-1028 says,
“Answer off, no announcement”
(see “Recording the Outgoing Mes-
sage” on Page 16).
To have the TAD-1028 not answer
calls, press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE
again. The TAD announces “Answer
off,” and the ANSWER indicator turns
off.
RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
Each incoming message can be up to
60 seconds long.
The TAD hangs up and resets to an-
swer the next call when:
• The caller hangs up.
• The maximum message length (60
seconds) is reached.
• There are more than 8 seconds of
silence.
• You pick up any phone on the
same phone line as the TAD (see
“Screening Calls”).
The PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes when
a new message is recorded.
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD-1028 an-
swer them, then listen to the caller’s
message through the TAD’s speaker. If
you decide to answer the call, pick up
any phone on the same phone line as
the TAD. The TAD stops recording and
resets to answer the next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone just as
the TAD-1028 answers, the TAD might
not stop playing the outgoing message.
If this happens, press ANSWER/STOP/
DELETE to stop the TAD.
43-788.fm Page 17 Monday, August 16, 1999 8:19 AM

If you do not want to take the call, just let
the TAD-1028 finish recording the call-
er’s message.
PLAYING MESSAGES
If there are new messages, the PLAY/
SKIP indicator flashes until all the new
messages have been played.
To play all messages, press PLAY/SKIP.
The TAD announces the number of
messages. If there are no messages,
the TAD announces, “No message.”
Before playing each message, the TAD-
1028 announces the message number
and the day and time when the mes-
sage was recorded. After all messages
play, the TAD announces, “End of mes-
sage(s)” then it resets to answer calls.
The PLAY/SKIP indicator lights steadily
and all messages are saved until you
delete them.
Repeating Messages
To replay a message, if you have lis-
tened to at least 5 seconds of it, press
OGM/REPEAT. The current message
starts again.
Note: If you have not listened to 5 sec-
onds of the message, or the message is
not at least 5 seconds long, pressing
OGM/REPEAT replays the previous
message.
Skipping Messages
To skip to the next message during
playback, press PLAY/SKIP once. The
next recorded message plays.
Pausing Message Playback
To pause message playback, press AN-
SWER/STOP/DELETE. To resume play-
ing messages, press PLAY/SKIP.
Otherwise, after pausing for 60 sec-
onds, the TAD-1028 sounds three
beeps and stops playback.
Stopping Message Playback
To stop playback at any time, pressAN-
SWER/STOP/DELETE twice. The TAD-
1028 beeps once and resets to answer
calls. The PLAY/SKIP indicator contin-
ues to flash if you have not yet listened
to all your messages.

RECORDING A MEMO
A memo is a message you can record at
the TAD-1028, without having to call in
on a phone.
Notes:
• The maximum memo length is 60
seconds.
• When memory is full, the TAD-
1028 announces, “Memory is full,”
and you cannot record the memo.
Delete old messages to make
room in memory (see “Deleting
Messages” on Page 19).
Follow these steps to record a memo.
1. Hold down PLAY/SKIP until the
TAD-1028 beeps.
2. Speak in a normal voice into the
microphone on the front of the
TAD.
3. The TAD-1028 automatically stops
recording after 60 seconds, or you
can press ANSWER/STOP/DELETE
when you finish the memo. The
TAD-1028 beeps once.
The memo is recorded along with the in-
coming messages. To hear the memo,
simply play back your messages.
CHANGING THE REMOTE
OPERATION SECURITY
CODE
The TAD’s remote operation security
code is preset to 788. You can operate
your TAD-1028 remotely with this code;
however, we recommend that you set
your own code.
Notes:
• Be sure to set each digit within 8
seconds. Otherwise, you must start
over from Step 1.
• If AC power fails and the backup
battery becomes weak, the remote
operation security code automati-
cally resets to 788.
