FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-1016 25Channel • Dual-Keypad Cordless
Speakerphone, High-Capacity Digital
Answering System uses advanced analog cordless telephone t echnology to
give you superior audio quality. Its
cordless operation lets you move freely around your home or office.
The TAD stores all messages on a
computer chip. This gives you advanced capabilities over tape-based
answering machines. For example,
you can delete individual messages
while the rest are saved. Because
your TAD is fully di gital, there are no
tapes to bother with and no tape
mechanisms to wear out.
Its remote operation feature lets you
access your TAD from a touch-tone
phone and guides you through system
operation with voice prompts.

This TAD has been test ed and found
to comply with all applicable UL and
FCC standards.
Important: Cordless phone s such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-1016. For this reason, the
TAD-1016 should not be your only
telephone. To be safe, you should
also have a phone that does not require AC power to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make a nd
receive calls if there is an AC power
failure.
For your records, we recommend you
record the TAD’s serial num ber here.
The number is on the base’s label.
Serial Number ________________
Adjustable Ring Number — lets you
set the TAD to answer after two or five
rings.

INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can set the TAD-1016’s base on
a flat surface (such as a desk or
counter top), or mount it on a wall
plate or directly on the wall. The
base’s location affects the phone’s
range, so if you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which
gives the best performance.
Select a location that is:
• Near an AC outlet
• Near a modular telephone line
jack
• Away from electrical machinery,
electrical appliances, and metal
walls or filing cabinets
• Away from wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
Placing the Base on a
Desktop
1. Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the
the back of the base.
2. Plug the modular cord’s other end
into a modular phone line jack.

If the phone l ine jack i s not a modular
jack, you must update the wiring. You
can convert the wiring yourself, using
jacks and adapters available at your
local RadioShack store. Or, you can
let the phone company update the wiring for you. The USOC number of the
jack to be ins ta lle d is R J1 1 C.

TELEPHONE PREPARATION
CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The TAD-1016 comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery in the
handset. Before using your phone, you
must connect the battery, then charge
it for about 14 hours.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver.
remove the screw on the battery
compartment cover on the bo ttom
of the handset.
2. Press down and slide off the
handset’s battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow.
4. Replace the cover and tighte n the
screw.
5. To charge the battery, simply
place the handset on the base.
The CHARGE indicator on the
base lights.
Recharge the battery w hen the BATT
LOW indicator flashes.
Notes:
• If the CHARGE indi cator does not
light when you place the handset
on the base, be sure the battery
and AC adapter are securely connected.
• When you first use the phone after
charging the battery, the phone
might not work and you might
hear an error tone. If this happens, return the handset to the
base for about 5 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a m onth
to make sure they are not dirty or
tarnished.
3. Plug the battery pack’s plastic
connector into the socket in the
battery compartment. The plug fits
only one way.
13
43-775 .fm Page 14 Fri day, August 13, 1999 3:25 PM
• About once a month, fully discharge the battery by keeping the
handset off the base until the
BATT LOW indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery loses its ability
to fully recharge.
• If the BATT LOW indicator does
not light, but the phone does not
work, recharge the battery. (The
battery charge might be too low to
light the ind ic at o r.)
• If the battery pack gets weak during a call, a beep sounds about
every 30 seconds, and the BATT
LOW indicator flashes about every
3 seconds. If this happens, you
cannot make another call using
the handset until you recharge the
battery.
• If the battery loses its charge completely, the TAD-1016 loses the
security access-protection code.
Place the handset on the base
and charge the battery; this also
resets the code.
• The supplied battery should last
about a year. When the battery
loses its ability to fully recharge,
order a replacement battery (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 34).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack TAD-1016 25-Channel • Dual-Keypad Cordless Speakerpho ne
High-Capacity Digital Answering System is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TA D-1016 so
you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the phone o nly in n ormal tem perature environm ents.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the phone to work improperly.
Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the phone.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1016’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warrant y and v oi d your F CC aut horization to operate it. If your TAD-1016 is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the
phone company can ask you to disconnect the ph one until you have resol ved the
problem.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging the Battery
Pack” on Page 13, the battery pack
should last about 1 year. If the battery
does not hold a charge for more than 2
hours after an overnight charge, replace the battery pack with a 3.6 volt,
300 milliamp battery pack with a connector that fits the socket in the battery
compartment. You can order a replacement through your local RadioShack store.
2. Press down and slide off the

THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. The phone
company normally attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as pos sible 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 this telephone. The
phone company norm ally notifies you
of these changes i n advance, so you
can take the neces sa ry steps to p revent interruption of your phone service.
Your phone m ight cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operat ing
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off and unplug your phone and disconnect the handset battery. If the interference goes away, your phone is
causing it.
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
Some cordless t eleph ones operate on
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed nea r or on top of
TVs or VCRs. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the i nterference.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-1016 has built-in lightning
protection to reduce the risk of damage from surges in phone and power
line current. This p rotection meets or
exceeds FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area
that has severe electrical storms, we
suggest that you unplug your phone
during s torm s to redu ce the po ssi bility
of damage.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver
