INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location that is near a modular telephone jack and an AC outlet.

Your TAD connects directly to a modu- lar telephone line jack. If your tele- phone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself or have the telephone company update it for you.

•Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.

•The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall mount jack.

CONNECTING TO POWER

Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the AC 9V jack on the back of the TAD. Then plug the AC adapter’s other end into a standard AC outlet.

Caution: Only use an adapter that sup- plies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 780 milliamps, and has a plug which proper- ly fits the TAD’s AC 9V jack. The sup- plied AC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications might damage the TAD or the adapter.

When you first connect power, _ _ flashes on the display and the TAD au- tomatically runs a self-test. You cannot operate the TAD during this test. When the test is complete, the TAD beeps once and Lo and 00 alternately flash on the display until you install the back- up battery.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

During an AC power failure, a 9-volt bat- tery provides backup power so the TAD can maintain the correct time and mem- ory information. For the best perfor- mance, we recommend an alkaline battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not supplied).

Note: The telephone operates normally during a power failure; however, the TAD cannot answer and record incom- ing calls without AC power.
