INSTALLATION
We have designed your system to
conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to mos t telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is
shown on the bottom of your system.
If you are using more than one device
on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five, your phone
might not ring or your system might
not answer. In rural areas, a total REN
of three might impair ringer operation.
If ringer operation is impaired , remove
one of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your system complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules

Notes:
• Be sure not to press any of the
TAD-1006’s buttons while you are
plugging the adapter into the AC
outlet. If you accidentally press a
button, unplug the adapter from
the AC outlet, then plug it back in.
• The answering system on your
TAD-1006 cannot operate without
AC power. However, you can
make and answer calls on the
telephone without AC power.
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
If AC power fails or you unplug the
TAD-1006, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the
settings for the day, t im e, and s ecurity
code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 23-553.
1. To open the battery compartment
cover on the bottom of the TAD1006, loosen the screw in the
cover with a small Phillips screwdriver, then lift off the cover.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly
to the battery connector, then put
the battery into the compartment.
3. Replace the cover, then tighten
the screw.

Cautions:
• Before you replace the battery, be
sure the supplied adapter is
securely connected to an AC outlet and to the jack on the back of
the TAD-1006. Otherwise, you
might lose any stored information.
• Always use a fresh battery of the
required size and type.
• Dispose of the battery promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn
it.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.
Connecting the Wall Bracket
If you plan to mount the TAD-1006 on
a modular jack wall plate or directly on

Notes
• Many local phone companies us e
calling party control (CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up.
Your TAD recognizes a CPC signal and releases the line. If the
TAD records phone company
messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does
not use CPC.
• If the TAD reaches 100 percent
full while a caller is leav in g a message, the TAD hangs up. When
the next call comes in, the TAD
plays the memory full announcement.
• If the caller hangs up or is silent
for more than 7 seconds after
speaking for less than 2 sec onds,
or if the incoming message is less
than 2 seconds in length, the TAD
hangs up and resets to answer
the next call, but does not record

REMOTE TAD OPERATION
While you are away from your home
or office, you can use a touch-tone
phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a
pocket tone dialer to enter your remote operation security code and do
any of the following:
• Set the TA D to answer calls
• Listen to your messages
• Record a new announcement
• Delete messages
• Monitor the room where the TAD
is located
USING THE TOLL -SAVER
If the TAD is set to answer in three
rings or more and there are new messages (ones you have not played), the
TAD answers two rings sooner than
you set. For example, if you set i t to
answer in five rings and there are new
messages, it will answer after three
rings.
If there are no new messages (or if
you set the TAD to answer in two rings
or less), it answers according to the
number of rings you set. This gives
you time to hang up before the TAD
answers and avoid unneces sary longdistance charges.
CHANGING THE
REMOTE CODE
To use your TAD-1006 from a remote
telephone, you must first enter a 3digit remote operation security code.
The security code for your TAD-10 06
is preset to
You can either use the preset code, or
follow these steps to change it while

• If you forget your remote code
after setting it, follow these steps
again to set a new code.
• In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter
your selection within 7 seconds.
Otherwise, the TAD beeps three

3. Enter the new 3-digit remote operation security code. The TAD
beeps once after you press each
button, then it beeps twice to indicate the new code has been
stored in memory.
REMOTE ANSWER-ON
If the TAD-1006 is connected to AC
power, you can use any remote phone
to turn the TAD on and set it to answer
calls and record messages.
To remotely set the TAD to answer
calls, dial your phone number and wait
about 12 rings until the TAD ans wers.
Then hang up the phone or proceed
with remote operation beginning with
Step 2 under “Using Remote Commands.”
After you hang up, the TA D answers
calls and records incoming messages.
Note
: When the TAD is set
for announcement-only, it answers
calls but does not record messages.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote touch-tone phone.
1. Dial your phone number.

.”
Note
: If no beeps sou nd, re-enter
the code. If you enter the correct
code, but the TAD does not
accept it, the code might have
reset to the default (028) becaus e
of low battery power. Try entering
028 as the security code. If this
works, replace the TAD-1006’s
backup battery and reset the
remote operation security code as
soon as you return to the TAD1006’s location (see “Setting the
Day and Time” on Page 16 and
“Changing the Remote Code” on
Page 26).

4. Within 7 seconds, enter your
selection (see “List of Remote
Commands” on Page 29).
Notes:
• If you do not press a button
within 7 seconds, the TAD
hangs up.
• After you enter a remote com-
mand, the TAD is preset to
beep twice after about 160 seconds then automatically hang
up after about 180 seconds if
you do not enter another command.
If you are listening to your messages and the TAD beeps twice
to warn you that it is about to
hang up, you can press 7 to
repeat the current message
and reset the TAD’s time cycle.
• To delete a message the first
time you hear it, you must press
8 immediately
after
the caller’s
message ends (while the day/
time stamp plays) but
before
the TAD beeps to start the next
message or function. However,
if you are repeating a message,
you can press 8 at any time
before the message ends.
• If you do not have C PC service
and you hang up while the TAD
is playing back the messages,
the TAD might not recognize
that you hung up. If someone
calls while the T AD continues to
play the message, the caller
hears a busy signal. We recommend that you play all the messages or skip forward through
the messages using remote
commands until the TAD beeps
once before you ha ng up. This
will ensure that you hear all
your messages.
5. After completing the selected
function, the TAD beeps once
then plays the next recorded message (if you are playing back messages) or begins re-announcing
the list of selections. Enter a n ew
command or hang up the phone.
• If your telephone line has CPC
service and you hang up while
the TAD is playing back the
messages, it stops playback
immediately and resets to

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack TAD-1006 Digital Answering System Telephone with Time/Day
Stamp is an example of superior design and craftsmans hip. The following suggestions will help you care for the TAD-1006 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the TAD-1006 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the TAD-1006 ge ntly and carefully. Dro pping it can d amage
circuit boards and can cause the TAD-1006 to work improperly.
Use and store the TAD-1006 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extrem es can shorten t he life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD-1006 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the TAD-1006 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1006’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your TAD-100 6 is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone line, the phone company might ask you to disconnect your TAD-1006
until you have resolved the problem.
33
43-768 .fm Page 34 Fri day, Augu st 13, 1999 2: 49 PM
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD1006 causes problems on the phone
line, the phone company can temporarily disconnect your service. If this
happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advan ce. If a dvance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you as soon
as possible and advises you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your TAD-1006. The
phone company notifies yo u of these
changes in advance, so yo u can take
steps to prevent interruption of your
phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-1006 h as b uilt-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requirement s. However, lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your TAD-
1006.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area
that has severe electrical storms, we
suggest that you unplug your TAD1006 during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
