INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location that is near both a mod- ular telephone jack and an AC outlet.

Your TAD-1027 connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If the tele- phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local Ra- dioShack store. Or, you can let the tele- phone company update the wiring for you. The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

The TAD requires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD-1027, a 9-volt backup battery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and remote operation security code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as Ra- dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

Warning: If the TAD’s modular line cord is already connected to the telephone line jack, disconnect it before you install the backup battery. This reduces the risk of electric shock.

Caution: Always use a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.

Note: The TAD cannot answer and record incoming calls without AC power.

Follow these steps to install the backup battery.

1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, then lift off the cover.
