If you experience problems with your TAD, check the possible causes in this section. If you still have problems, con- tact your local Radio Shack store for as- sistance.

The incoming message is incom- plete.

•Be sure the TAD is set to answer calls.

•Make sure the memory is not full.

The TAD does not respond to the re- mote operation security code.

•Make sure the phone you used to dial the TAD is a touch-tone phone. (If it is not, you can use a pocket tone dialer to enter the code and commands.)

•Make sure the remote operation security code you entered is cor- rect.

There is line interference, or your touch-tone signals are not long and clear enough for the TAD to recog- nize.

•Re-enter your security code and press each button for 2 seconds.

No messages appear on the display.

•This could be caused by a power failure. Reset the TAD by removing the AC adapter and the battery from the TAD, then reinstalling them.
