PREPARATION

Select a location for the TAD-704 that is near a modular telephone line jack and an AC outlet, and is not in the way of normal activities.

CONNECTING THE TAD

Notes:

•Your TAD-704 connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update the wiring for you.

•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.

Follow these steps to connect your TAD to the telephone line and phone.

1.Unplug the telephone's modular cord from the modular phone line jack and plug it into the PHONE jack on the back of the TAD.

2.Plug one end of the supplied modu- lar cord into the LINE jack on the back of the TAD.

3.Plug the cord's other end into a modular phone line jack.

4.Insert the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the AC 9V 400 mA jack on the back of the TAD.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies

9V AC and delivers at least

400 mA. Its plug must fit the TAD- 704's AC 9V 400 mA jack. The sup- plied adapter meets these specifica- tions. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TAD-704 or the adapt- er.

•Always connect the AC adapter to the TAD-704 before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, dis- connect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the TAD-704.

5.Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
