Caution: The supplied adapter supplies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 400 milli- amps, and has a plug which properly fits the TAD’s DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications might damage the TAD or the adapter.

When you first connect power, the TAD beeps once and the message counter counts up from 0 to 10. Then the TAD beeps. A1, A2, Lo, CL and 0 alternately appear to indicate that no outgoing mes- sages are recorded, and the day/time stamp is not set.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

The TAD requires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD-1024, a 9V backup battery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and security code. We recommend you use an alka- line battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

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

Follow these steps to install the backup battery.

1.Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift the battery compartment cover.

2.Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to the battery connector, then place the battery into the compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

When the battery is low and needs re- placing, Lo appears on the display. Be sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in so you do not lose the TAD’s stored in- formation, then replace the battery. After the battery is installed, A1, A2, CL, and 0 alternately appear.

Caution: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
