FEATURES
Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answering Device is a so-
phisticated, fully digital message center. Fully digital means the
system stores all messages on a computer chip. This gives you
advanced capabilities over tape-based answering machines.
For example, you can save or delete individual messages. Be-
cause your Telephone Answering Device (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 10 minutes of messag-
es, memos, and two-way phone conversations.
Day/Time Stamp — records the day and time each message
was recorded.
Call Screening — lets you listen to incoming calls so you can
decide whether or not to answer a call.
Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops recording a caller's mes-
sage when you pick up any phone on the same line as the TAD,
so you can talk to the caller.
Multiple Outgoing Messages (OGM) — lets you set the TAD
to play your message or the prerecorded message, or just play
your announcement without recording the caller’s message.
Memo Recording — lets you leave messages for yourself or
others in your home or office.

Two-Way Recording — lets you record both sides of a tele-
phone conversation.
Voice Activated Recording (VOX) Detection — the TAD
stops recording when the caller hangs up or after 7 seconds of
silence to help conserve memory space.
Remote Operation — lets you use a touch-tone phone (or rota-
ry phone and pocket tone dialer) to operate the TAD while you
are away from your home or office.
Remote Answer-On — lets you call the TAD from a remote lo-
cation and set it to answer calls.
Adjustable Ring Number — you can set the TAD to answer af-
ter 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 mem-
ory is full.
Message Indicator — flashes to let you know you have new
messages.
Your TAD is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applica-
ble FCC standards.

Read This Before Installation
Your TAD conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect
it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you con-
nect 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 device 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 an-
swer. 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

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY
If AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, one 9V alkaline battery
(not supplied) is needed to save any recorded messages and
the settings for the day and time. For the best performance and
longest life, we recommend you use a RadioShack alkaline bat-
tery.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw on the bat-
tery compartment cover.
2. Attach a 9V alkaline battery to the terminals and place the
battery in the compartment.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.

Replace the battery when the LOW BATT indicator flashes
while the TAD is connected to AC power.
Warning: Dispose of the old battery promptly and properly. Do
not burn or bury it.
Cautions:
• To avoid losing stored information, be sure the AC adapter
is plugged into an AC outlet before you replace the battery.
• Always remove the old or weak battery. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
CONNECTING THE TAD
TO A PHONE LINE
Select a location for the TAD that is near both a telephone jack
and an easily accessible AC outlet, and out of the way of normal
activities.
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. Plug the TAD's modular phone line cord into the wall jack.
2. Plug the modular phone line cord into the modular phone
jack on the back of the TAD.
CONNECTING AC POWER
Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet. The MESSAGE
indicator lights.
Notes:
• If you did not install a backup battery, the TAD beeps twice,
the MESSAGE indicator lights, and the LOW BATT indica-
tor flashes. The TAD initializes in about 8 seconds, then
you hear 4 tones.
• Do not press any of the TAD's buttons while you are plug-
ging the adapter into the AC outlet. If you accidentally
press a button, reset the TAD by unplugging the adapter
from the AC outlet and re-inserting it.
• The TAD cannot operate without AC power.

PREPARATION
TURNING THE TAD ON/OFF
When the MESSAGE indicator lights continuously, the TAD is
ready to answer calls.
To turn off the TAD, press STOP/ON/OFF. The MESSAGE indi-
cator turns off and the TAD beeps.
To turn on the TAD, press STOP/ON/OFF. The MESSAGE indi-
cator lights and the TAD beeps.
Notes:
• Once you turn on the TAD, it is set to answer calls (see
“Setting the TAD to Answer Calls” on Page 16).
• You can also turn on the TAD remotely (see “Remote Com-
mands” on Page 24).
