REPLACING THE

BATTERY PACK

If you follow the instructions in “Connect- ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on Page 12, the battery pack should last about one year. If the battery pack does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an overnight charge, replace it with a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery compartment. You can order a replacement battery pack through your local RadioShack store.

Install the new battery pack as de- scribed below, then charge it for about

12hours.

1.Press down and slide off the battery pack compartment cover as shown.

2.Lift the battery pack out of the com- partment, then gently pull on the battery connector to disconnect it.

3.Insert the new battery pack's con- nector into the socket in the com- partment (the connector fits only one way), route the battery pack's leads through the strain relief slot, and place the battery pack into the compartment.

4.Replace the cover.

Cautions:

•Use a replacement battery of the required type (3.6V 600 mAh rechargeable battery), available through your local RadioShack store.

•Do not dispose of the battery in a fire because it can explode.

•Do not open or mutilate the battery. Swallowing the battery can be fatal.

The Radio Shack TAD-728 is a versatile and user-friendly cassette answering machine that gained popularity in the late 20th century. Designed with both functionality and convenience in mind, the TAD-728 is a staple for those who relied on analog technology for their communication needs.

One of the main features of the TAD-728 is its ability to record and store incoming messages onto cassette tapes. This analog medium not only provided a robust sound quality but also made it easy for users to manage their messages, as one could quite literally see the tape running. The device boasts a maximum record time of around 30 minutes, offering ample time for users to receive and store their messages.

The TAD-728 is equipped with a built-in microphone, allowing users to record personal announcements or messages. This feature was especially useful for businesses wishing to convey specific information to callers. Additionally, the machine includes an adjustable volume control, enabling users to customize the playback according to their environment.

Subscribers of the TAD-728 could also benefit from its call screening feature.

The TAD-728 is powered by standard AA batteries or can be plugged directly into a power outlet, making it a portable and flexible solution for various settings. Its compact design, with a lightweight build, ensured that it could fit seamlessly into any home or office space without taking up too much room.

In terms of technology, the TAD-728 incorporates reliable tape technology that was standard in the late 80s and early 90s. It is compatible with various cassette tape formats, affording users the choice of using different brands or tape types depending on their preference.

Overall, the Radio Shack TAD-728 remains a significant piece of technology, characterized by its straightforward design and practical features, providing users with an effective solution for managing their communications in an era before digital dominance.
