Radio Shack TAD-759 owner manual Preparation, Installing a Backup Battery, Mounting the TAD

PREPARATION

INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY

The TAD requires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you un- plug the TAD-759, a 9-volt battery (not supplied) saves the messages, time and day settings, memory numbers, and the remote operation security code. We rec- ommend a RadioShack alkaline battery.

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

Follow these steps to install the battery.

Warning: If the TAD’s modular line cord is connected to a phone line jack, dis- connect it before installing a battery. This reduces the risk of electric shock.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.

1.Use a flat-blade screwdriver to unlatch the battery compartment cover (as shown), then open the cover.

2.Snap the battery’s terminals to the connector inside the compartment.

3.Close the cover and press down on the latch to close it.

Replace the battery when Lo appears on the message counter. Be sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in while you replace the battery, so you do not lose any stored information.

Cautions:

•Always remove an old or weak bat- tery. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

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

MOUNTING THE TAD

You can place the TAD-759 on a desk, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall. Select a loca- tion that is near both a modular tele- phone line jack and an AC outlet.

Notes:

•Your TAD-759 connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update it yourself using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store, or have the telephone com- pany update it for you.

•The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

Caution: The supplied AC adapter was designed specifically for your TAD-759. Use only the supplied adapter.
