RadioShack is a registered trademark used by Tandy Corporation.

We recommend you record your sys-

tem’s serial number here. The number

is on the bottom of the answering sys-

tem.

Serial Number:

This system has been tested and

found to comply with all applicable UL

and FCC standards.

This symbol is intended to alert you

to the presence of uninsulated dan-

gerous voltage within the product’s

enclosure that might be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock. Do not open the

product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform

you that important operating and

maintenance instructions are in-

cluded in the literature accompany-

ing this product.

READ THIS FIRST

We have designed your system to

conform to federal regulations, and

you can connect it to most telephone

lines. However, each device you con-

nect 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 bottom of your answer-

ing system.

If you are using more than one device

on the line, add up all the RENs. If the

total is more than five, your phones

might not ring and your answering

system might not answer. In rural ar-

eas, a total REN of three might impair

ringer operation. If ringer operation is

impaired, remove a device from the

telephone line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your answering system 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 answering system.

Note: You must not connect your an-

swering system to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key phone sys-

tems

INSTALLATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

You can set the TAD-1018 on a flat

surface (such as a desk top or counter

top), or mount it on a wall plate or di-

rectly on the wall.

Select a location that is:

• Near an AC outlet

• Near a modular phone line jack

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 the wir-

ing for you.

Note: The USOC number of the jack

to be installed is RJ11C.

LOADING THE

CASSETTE

Your answering system comes with an

MC-60 cassette tape (30 minutes of

recording time per side). You can buy

additional and different length cas-

settes at your local RadioShack store.

1. Turn the supplied cassette’s hub

with the tip of a pencil to take up

any tape slack.

2. Lift open the cassette compart-

ment door.

3. Put the cassette in the compart-

ment with its full reel toward the

back of the answering system and

its open edge to the right.

4. Close the compartment door.

Notes:

• You can turn the tape over and

record on the other side. This lets

you save any messages recorded

on the first side while using the

tape to record more messages.

• Replace the tape at least once a

year, or more often if it is used fre-

quently.

CONNECTING POWER

Use the supplied AC adapter to power

your answering system.

Cautions:

• Use only the supplied adapter.

• Always plug the adapter into the

answering system before you plug

it into an AC outlet. Always unplug

the adapter from the AC outlet be-

fore you unplug it from the an-

swering system.

Follow these steps to connect the

TAD-1018 to power.

1. Plug the AC adapter’s barrel plug

into the answering system’s

POWER SOURCE jack.

2. Plug the other end of the adapter

into a standard AC outlet.

The MESSAGE indicator lights while

the answering system checks for an

outgoing message.

If an outgoing message is already re-

corded, the answering system auto-

matically plays it back. If there is no

outgoing message, the answering

system sounds a continuous tone until

you record a message (see “Record-

ing the Outgoing Message”).

Note: If the cassette tape is broken or

is not inserted properly and the an-

swering system has power, the sys-

tem sounds a continuous tone. To

stop the tone, unplug the adapter from

the AC outlet. Reinsert or replace the

cassette tape, then plug the adapter

back into the AC outlet.

RECORDING THE

OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before you can set the answering sys-

tem to answer calls and record mes-

sages, you must record the message

the caller hears when the answering

system answers a call.

In the message, ask for the caller’s

name, phone number, and message.

The maximum length for your outgo-

ing message is 30 seconds.

Important Hint: Do not tell callers that

you are not home. Instead, say that

you cannot come to the phone right

now.

Follow these steps to record your out-

going message.

1. Rotate VOLUME on the base to

the right until it clicks. The MES-

SAGE indicator lights.

2. Lift open the cassette compart-

ment door.

3. Hold down OGM REC/PLAY until

the MESSAGE indicator turns off,

then release the button. The

answering system beeps once.

4. When the MESSAGE indicator

lights again, speak clearly in a

normal voice about 12 inches

away from the microphone.

Microphone

5. When you finish recording your

message, press OGM REC/PLAY

again. The MESSAGE indicator

turns off, then the answering sys-

tem beeps twice and plays back

the message as it is recording

from the digital chip to the tape.

(The message is backed up on

tape so after a power failure it can

be automatically restored to the

chip.)

Wait until the answering system plays

back the message before you contin-

ue installing your answering system.

Checking the Outgoing

Message

Press OGM REC/PLAY at any time to

hear the outgoing message. The an-

swering system beeps once, plays

back the message, beeps twice, then

resets to answer calls.

To adjust the volume, rotate VOLUME.

PLACING THE PHONE

ON A DESK TOP

To use your answering system on a

desk, table, or shelf, plug the tele-

phone cord into a modular phone jack.

Plug one end of the coiled handset

cord into the handset jack on the an-

swering system and the other end into

the jack on the handset. Place the

handset on the cradle.

MOUNTING THE PHONE

ON THE WALL

Using the supplied mounting bracket,

you can mount the TAD-1018 on a

phone jack wall plate or directly on the

wall.

If you are mounting the phone directly

on the wall, you need two screws with

heads that fit into the bracket’s key-

hole slots.

1. Pull the handset holder toward

you as far as it will go. Hold it out

as you rotate the holder 180°,

then let it snap back in place.

The holder’s tab holds the hand-

set in the cradle while the answer-

ing system is mounted on the wall.

2. To mount the TAD-1018 directly

onto the wall, drill two holes 31/4

inches apart, one above the other,

at the desired location.

3. Thread a screw

into each hole

until it’s head

extends about 1/8

inch from the

wall.

4. If you are mounting the system on

a wall plate, thread the telephone

cord into the left slot on the top of

the mounting bracket and pull it

through the large hole in the cen-

ter of the bracket. If you mounting

the system directly on the wall,

thread the telephone cord into the

left slot on the top and bottom of

the mounting bracket.

Thread the adapter’s power cord

into the right slot on the top and

bottom of the mounting bracket.

5. Insert the mounting bracket’s tabs

into the slots on the bottom of the

answering system. Then push the

bracket up until it snaps into

place.

1/8”

6. When mounting on a wall plate,

coil all the excess telephone cord

into the mounting bracket’s recess

by pushing it back through the

large hole. Leave only about 1–2

inches of the cord outside the

bracket.

7. Plug the telephone cord into the

wall plate or a modular phone

jack.

8. Line up the keyhole slots on the

bracket with the studs on the wall

plate (or with the screws in the

wall), then slide the bracket down

until it is secure.

9. Plug one end of

the coiled hand-

set cord into the

handset jack on

the answering

system and the

other end into the

jack on the hand-

set. Place the

handset in the

cradle.

TURNING OFF/ON THE

RINGER

To turn off the telephone’s ringer, set

RINGER to OFF. You can still make

outgoing calls. If you hear an exten-

sion phone ring, you can still answer

calls.

When you want the telephone to ring

again, set RINGER to ON.

SETTING THE NUMBER

OF RINGS

You can select the number of rings the

answering system waits before it an-

swers calls. Set RING SELECT to the

desired position.

The system answers calls in 2, 4, or 7

rings, or if you set the switch to TS

(Toll Saver — the last position), the

answering system answers in 4 rings

if no messages are saved or in 2 rings

if you have messages. Toll Saver can

save you long-distance charges be-

cause, if there are no new messages,

you can hang up before the answering

system answers.

SETTING THE DIALING

MODE

Pick up the handset, then set TONE/

PULSE for the type of service you

have.

If you are not sure which type you

have, do this test.

1. Pick up the handset and listen for

a dial tone.

2. Set TONE/PULSE to TONE.

3. Press any number other than 0.
