FEATURES
Your Radio Shack TAD-1007 Multi-User
Digital Telephone Answering System
with Day/Time Voice Stamp is a sophi sticated, fully digital message cent er that
groups recorded messages for up to four
different users. The caller can choose to
leave a message for a specific person or
department.
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-1007’s 26-minute memory c apacity lets you store more messages
than many other TADs. And, its unique,
space-saving design makes it ideal for
any office or ni ghtstand. 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:
Four User Mailboxes
— let you store
and play back messages for up to four
different users.

the time and day when each message

Toll Sav er
— lets you set th e TAD to

This lets you hang up before the TAD
answers to avoid charges when you call
by long-distance to check your messages.

— lets you listen from a
remote phone to the room where you installed the TAD.

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 tot al i s mo re tha n fi ve ( or th ree in
rural areas), your phone(s) might not
ring and your TAD might not answer. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove one
of th e 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 shown on the bottom of
the TAD.
Note
: You must not connect the TAD to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most 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 jacks and
adapters to convert older wiring
methods to modular wiring.
• The telephone compa ny charges to
install the necessary jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
To connect the TAD to the phon e line,
plug one end of the supplied tele phone
cord into the
of the TAD. Then plug the other end into
a modular phone jack.
You can also connect an extension telephone to the
of the TAD using a second telephone
cord (not supplied).

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
During an AC power failure, a 9-volt battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not supplied) provides backup power so the
TAD can maintain the correct time and
memory information. However, the TAD
cannot answer incoming calls and
record messages without AC power.
Follow these steps to install the battery.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover (located on the bottom of the
TAD) in the direction of the arrow
and lift it off.

The TAD records the day and time of the

time.
• If you do not press a button within 8
seconds at each step, the TAD
sounds a three-tone beep and
stops setting the day and time.

RECORDING THE
OUTGO ING MESSAGE
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls, you must record the outgoing message (OGM) t he caller hears when the
TAD answers a call.
“You have reached the Jones residence. We are unable to come to the
phone right now, but you may press:

(Toll Saver) — If there are no new

mailbox, the TAD answers after about
two rings. This lets you avoid unne cessary toll charges when calling by longdistance to check your messages. If you
hear more than two rings, the TAD has
no new messages. Hang up before the
TAD answers so you will not be charged
for the call.

PLAYING MESSAGES
The TAD stores each message in one of
the four mailboxes, depe nding on which

Notes:
• If you check all messages and
there are no messages stored in
the selected mailbox, the TAD
says, “Mailbox __, no message.”
• If you check new messages and
there are no new messages stored
in the selected mailbox, the TAD

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 caref ully. 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 electron ic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can c ause premature
wear of parts.
Wipe the TAD with a d amp c loth o ccasio nally to k eep it loo king new.
CLEANER
Do not use harsh chem icals, 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 and void your FCC authorization to operate
it. If your TAD-1007 Multi-User Digital Telephone Answering System with Day/Time
Voice Stamp is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone com pany m ight ask

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes problems on the telephone line, the
telephone company attempts to notify
you in advance. If advanc e n otice is not
practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC.
Also, the telephone company c an 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 necessary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone service.
Your TAD com plies with the limit s for a
Class B digital device as specified in
Part 15 of
vide reasonable protection against radio
and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your TAD might cau se TV or
radio interference even when it is o perating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
radio or TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
TA D and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the TA D and the radio or
TV .
Consult your local Radio S hack store i f
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 requ irements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not commo n. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the TAD during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
