PREPARATION
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Select a location for the TAD that is near a modular telephone line jack and an AC outlet, and is not in the way of normal activities.
INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY
If the AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and remote operation se- curity code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.
1.Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery compartment cover’s screw, then slide the cover in the direction of the arrow and lift it off.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace the battery when the ANSWER indicator flashes.
Cautions:
•Always remove an old or weak bat- tery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
•Dispose of the old battery promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn it.
•To avoid losing stored information, be sure the AC adapter is plugged in and connected to the TAD before you replace the battery.
2.Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to the battery connector and place the battery in the compartment.

CONNECTING THE TAD
Notes:
•Your TAD connects directly to a modular phone line jack. If your line jack is not modular, you can update it yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the phone company update it for you.
