INSTALLING BACKUP BATTERIES

The TAD-1029 requires AC power to op- erate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD-1029, four AAA backup batteries (not supplied) save the mes- sages, day and time settings, and re- mote operation security code for up to 12 hours. We recommend you use alka- line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the re- quired size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

•To avoid losing information stored in memory, do not unplug the AC adapter when you replace the back- up batteries.

Follow these steps to install backup bat- teries.

1.Press in the tab on the battery com- partment cover on the top of the base and lift off the cover.

Cautions:

•Always remove old or weak batter- ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
