FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-734 900 MHz
Cordless Speakerphone Digital Answer-
ing System combines a 900 MHz cord-
less telephone unit and a digital TAD
(Telephone Answering Device). The 900
MHz band means less interference,
clearer sound, and greater range than
46/49 MHz cordless telephones.
The Caller ID unit records each caller’s
telephone number (and name, if avail-
able in your area) and the date and time
of the call, as provided by your local
phone company to Caller ID service
subscribers. And, if you subscribe to
Call Waiting with Caller ID, the TAD-734
can show you the incoming caller infor-
mation, even when you are already on
the phone.
The TAD stores up to 18 minutes of
messages on a computer chip and
records each message’s day and time.
This gives you advanced capabilities
over tape-based answering machines
because you can delete individual mes-
sages and save the rest, and there are
no tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
The remote operation feature lets you
operate your TAD from a touch-tone
phone (or from a rotary phone with a
pocket tone dialer).
Telephone Features
10 Number Memory Dialing — lets you

Important Caller ID Information
To use the phone’s Caller ID and Caller

those services through your local phone
company.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more
options are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. How-
ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device’s ringer equivalence num-
ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base.
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 (three
in rural areas), your phones might not
ring. If ringer operation is impaired, re-
move a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-734 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules . You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security ac-
cess-protection code prevents unautho-
rized use of your phone line, it is
possible for other radio units operating
on similar frequencies within a certain
area to unintentionally intercept your
conversations and/or cause interfer-
ence. This lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the TAD-734’s base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a modular telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, metal walls or
filing cabinets, 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 lo-
cations, try each to see which provides
the best performance.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least
350 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the
TAD-734's DC IN 9V jack. The sup-
plied adapter meets these specifica-
tions. Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications could
damage the TAD-734 or the adapt-
er.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the TAD-734 before you connect it
to AC power. If you ever need to dis-
connect the TAD, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the TAD-734.
Notes:
• Your telephone connects directly to
a modular telephone line jack. If
your phone line jack is not a modu-
lar jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available 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 (RJ11W for a wall
plate).
On a Desk Top
1. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular telephone line jack.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack on
the back of the base.

4. Route the adapter’s cord through
the strain relief slot on the bottom of
the base.
5. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
6. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
On a Wall Plate or Wall
1. Insert the two tabs at the top of the
narrow end of the supplied bracket
into the base’s upper tab slots as
shown, then press down on the
bracket’s latches and insert them
into the lower slots.
2. Plug one end of the supplied short
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
on the back of the base as in Step 1,
“On a Desk Top” on Page 7.
3. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the DC IN 9V jack as
in Step 3, “On a Desk Top” on
Page 7.
4. Route the adapter and modular
cords through the grooves on the
bracket.
5. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into the wall plate jack, then align
the bracket’s keyhole slots with the
wall plate studs and slide the base
downward to secure it.
6. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
7. Press and lift out the handset
holder, flip it over as shown, then
snap it back into place so it holds
the handset.
8. Lift the base’s antenna to a vertical
position.
43-734.fm Page 8 Thursday, February 24, 2000 10:42 AM

Note: To mount the TAD directly on a
wall, you need two screws (not supplied)
with heads that fit into the keyhole slots
on the bottom of the bracket.
Follow the steps under “On a Wall Plate
or Wall” on Page 8, then apply these ad-
ditional instructions for placement on a
wall.
1. Drill two holes 315/16
inches (100 mm)
apart. Then thread a
screw into each hole,
letting the heads
extend about 5/16
inch (8 mm) from the
wall.
2. Plug one end of the supplied long
modular cord into the TEL LINE jack
at the back of the base.
3. Align the bracket’s keyhole slots
with the mounting screws and slide
the base downward to secure it.
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY
PACK
The TAD-734 comes with a recharge-
able nickel-cadmium battery pack in-
stalled in the handset, but not
connected. Before using your phone,
you must connect the battery pack, then
charge it for about 24 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the com-
partment. Plug the battery pack’s
connector into the socket in the
compartment. The connector fits
only one way.
3. Place the battery pack in the com-
partment.
4. Replace the cover.

10
To charge the battery pack, simply place
the handset on the base, facing either
up or down. The CHARGE/IN USE indi-
cator on the base lights and Total:00
appears on the handset display.
Recharge the battery pack when Low
Battery flashes on the display.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The CHARGE/IN USE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear a five-beep error
signal. If this happens, return the
handset to the base for about 5
seconds. This resets the security
access-protection code.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the display is blank and the phone
does not work, recharge the battery
pack. (The battery power might be
too low to light the display.)
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 3 seconds and Low Bat-
tery flashes on the display. When
this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone until you
recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until Low
Battery flashes on the display.
Otherwise, the battery pack loses its
ability to fully recharge.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged or the base loses power
while the handset is away from it,
place the handset on the base to
reset the security access-protection
code. If it was the handset that lost
power, recharge the battery pack.
• The supplied battery pack should
last about a year. When it loses its
ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack through
your local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 33).
SETTING THE DIALING
MODE
Set DIAL MODE on the back of the base
for the type of service you have. If you
are not sure which type you have, after
you charge the handset battery pack, do
this simple test.

that you dial an access code (9, for
example) before you dial an outside
number, do not press the access
code number either.
If the dial tone stops, you have
touch-tone service. Leave DIAL
MODE set to T.
If the dial tone continues, you have
pulse service. Set DIAL MODE to P
(pulse).
4. Press TALK or place the handset on
the base to hang up.
TURNING THE BASE’S
RINGER ON AND OFF
To turn off the base’s ringer, set RINGER
on the back of the base to OFF. You can

phone. Telephones on the same line
(and the TAD’s handset if it is away from
the base) still ring and the CHARGE/IN
USE indicator on the base flickers when
there is an incoming call.
To turn on the base’s ringer, set RINGER
