FEAT URES
Your Radio Shack TAD-1004 Fully Digital TAD with Voice S tamp and Speed
Dial Memory Telephone is a combination multi-feature telephone and high
quality answering system. Fully digital
means the TAD stores all messages on
a computer chip — there are no tape
mechanisms to wear out and no tapes
to bother with. This gives you capabilities that tape-based answering machines don’t have. For example, you
can delete individual messages.
The TAD-1004’s 14-minute memory capacity is more than enough to meet
most users’ needs. And, its unique,
space-saving design makes it ideal for
any office or nightstand. Your TAD’s remote control features let you retrieve
messages from almost any touch-tone
phone. With an optional pock et tone dialer, you can even use it from a rotary
phone.
Your TAD’s features include:

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your TAD to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the
phone line draws power from it. This
power draw is the device’s Ringer
Equivalence Number, or REN. The
REN is shown on the bottom of the
TAD.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs.
If the total is more than five (or three in
rural areas), your phone(s) might not
ring and your TAD might not answer. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove
one of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company. Both
numbers are mark ed on the bottom of
the TAD.
Note
: You must not connect the TAD to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Electronic key telephone systems

INSTALLATION
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Select a location that is near a modular
telephone jack and an AC outlet.
Your TAD connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone 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 jack s 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 RJ11 C, or RJ11W for
a wall mount jack.
CONNECTING TO POWER

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
During an AC power failure, a 9-volt battery provides backup power so the TAD
can maintain the correct time and memory information. For the best performance, we recommend an alkaline
battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not
supplied).
The telephone operates normally
Note:
during a power failure; however, the
TAD cannot answer and record incoming calls without AC power.

43-744 .fm Page 7 Fri da y, August 13, 1999 2:10 PM
Follow these steps to install the battery.
1. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to
push the latch on the battery compartment cover, then lift the cover.
2. Snap the battery’s terminals to the
connector inside the compartment.
3. Replace the cover and pres s down
on the latch to close it securely.
Note:
The outgoing message and all information stored in memory are erased
when you press
RESET

W ALL MOUNTING
You can mount t he TAD on a standard
wall plate or directly on the wall, using
two screws with heads that fit into the
keyhole slots on the back of your TAD.
On a Wall Plate
When the battery is low and needs replacing,

TAD answers after about two rings.
Otherwise, the TAD answers after
four rings. This lets you avoid
unnecessary charges when calling
by long-distance to check your
messages. If you hear more than
two rings, the TAD has no new

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack TA D-1004 Fully Digital TAD with V oice Stamp and Spe ed Dial
Memory Telephone is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TAD so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.
Use and store the TAD only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TA D a w ay f rom dust and dirt, which ca n cause premature
wear of par ts.
Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the TAD.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty. If your TAD is not performing as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company at tempt s to notify you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the telephone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right t o fi le a co mplai nt

Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this TAD. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance so you can take the

of your telephone services.
Your TAD complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in
Part 15 of
vide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential

following corrective measures:

Consult your local Radio S hack store if
the problem still exists.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirem ents. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unp lug the T AD duri ng storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna of the radio or TV
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
TAD and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the TAD and the radio or
TV .
