Your TAD-1006 Digital Answering System Telephone with Time/Day Stamp is a sophisticated, fully digital message center that combines a tele­phone and an answering machine in one convenient package.
Fully digital means the TAD-1006 stores all messages on a computer chip. This gives you advanced capa­bilities over tape-based answering machines. For exam ple, y ou c an sa ve individual messages while the rest a re deleted.
And, because your TAD-1006 is fully digital, there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to bother with.

READ THIS BEFORE 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

SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location for the TAD-1006 that is near a modular phone jack and an AC outlet, and out of the way of normal activities. You can place the TAD-1006 on a flat surface (such as a desktop or counter-top), mount it on a modular jack wall plate, or mount it di­rectly on the wall.
company update the wiring for you.
• The phone company will charge you for the installation of neces­sary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack t o be installed is RJ11C for a base­board jack or RJ11W for a wall­plate jack.
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
Caution
adapter that supplies 12 volts of pow­er, delivers at least 200 milliamps, and has a plug that properly fits the TAD­1006’s set to negative. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the adapter and the TAD-1006.

Notes
• If the phone line jack is not a mod­ular jack, you must update the wir­ing. You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at any Radio Shack store. Or, you can let the phone

2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
The TAD-1006 initializes, the L. BATT (low battery) indicator lights steadily, and the ANSWER, MEMO, and PLAY indicators flash six times. Then the TAD-1006 beeps once and the ANSWER indicator lights steadily.

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.

Replace the battery if the L.BATT (low battery) indicator turns on while the AC adapter is properly connected.

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 the wall, you must first connect the supplied mounting bracket to the back of the TAD-1006. To connect the bracket, insert the tabs on the brack et into the slots closest to the battery compartment, then press the bracket to the phone until it snaps into place.
