INSTALLATION

INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY

The TAD-764 requires AC power to op- erate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9-volt backup battery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and re- mote operation security code. We rec- ommend you use a RadioShack alkaline battery.

2.Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to the TAD’s connector and put the battery in the compartment.

Warning: If the TAD’s modular line cord is already connected to the telephone line jack, disconnect it before you install the backup battery. This reduces the risk of electric shock.

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

Note: The telephone operates normally during a power failure; however, the TAD cannot answer or record incoming calls without AC power.

Follow these steps to install the backup battery.

1.Place a flat-bladed screwdriver under the tab on the battery com- partment cover, pry open the cover, then lift it off.

3. Replace the cover.

After the power is connected (see “Mounting the TAD” on Page 7), when the battery is weak or not installed, the ANSWER indicator flashes. If you are replacing a weak battery, be sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in so you do not lose the TAD’s stored informa- tion.

Caution: Dispose of the old battery promptly and properly.
