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.
