CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack TAD-1028 Digital Answering System Telephone with Time/Day Voice Stamp is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the TAD-1028 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the TAD-1028 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the TAD-1028 only in normal temperature environ- ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de- vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the TAD-1028 away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre- mature wear of parts.

Handle the TAD-1028 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.

Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your TAD-1028’s electron- ic parts.

Wipe the TAD-1028 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean the TAD.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1028’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your TAD-1028 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your TAD until you have resolved the problem.

Users could select between a standard setting for normal calls and a high-quality option for important messages, showcasing the device's versatility. Additionally, the TAD-1028 offered a skip and repeat function, allowing users to navigate messages efficiently.

The device was equipped with a “talking” function that announced the number of messages left, making it easier for users to keep track of their calls. Furthermore, it used a rechargeable battery backup feature, ensuring that critical messages would not be lost during power outages.

In summary, the Radio Shack TAD-1028 is a pioneering telephone answering machine, offering digital technology, extended recording capabilities, and user-friendly features.
