CONNECTING POWER

Use the supplied AC adapter to power your TAD-277.

Cautions:

•The supplied Class 2 AC adapter supplies 9 volts of power, delivers at least 500 milliamps, and has a plug that properly fits the TAD- 277’s 9V AC 500mA jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TAD-277.

•Always plug the adapter into the TAD-277 before you plug it into an AC outlet, and unplug the adapter from the outlet before you unplug it from the TAD-277.

1.Plug the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the TAD-277’s9V AC 500mA jack.

2.Plug the adapter’s other end into a standard AC outlet.

3.Rotate VOLUME to the right until it clicks to turn on the TAD-277.

message, the TAD-277 sounds a con- tinuous high tone until you record a message (see “Recording the Outgo- ing Message”).

Note: If the cassette tape is broken or is not inserted properly, the TAD-277 sounds a continuous low tone when it is connected to power. To stop the tone, unplug the adapter from the AC outlet. Reinsert or replace the tape, then plug the adapter back into the AC outlet.

RECORDING THE OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before you can use the TAD-277, you must record the outgoing message. The maximum length for your outgo- ing message is 30 seconds.

Hint: To help protect your home or of- fice, do not tell callers you are away. Instead, say you cannot come to the phone at this time.

Follow these steps to record an outgo- ing message.

1.If the TAD-277 is off, rotate VOL- UME to the right until it clicks to turn it on. The message indicator turns on.
