FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-1024 Digital
Telephone Answering System with
Dual-Announcements is a high-quality
telephone answering device which you
can also control remotely from any
touch-tone phone. (With an optional
pocket tone dialer, you can even use it
from a rotary phone.)
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-1024’s 14-minute memory c apacity lets you store a lot of messages.
And its unique, space-saving design
makes it ideal for any office or nightstand.
Your TAD’s features include:
Dual Out
oing Message Capacit
—
lets you choose between playing an outgoing message then recording the caller’s message, or just playing an
announcement without recording a message. And, when the T AD’s memory is
full, it switche s aut omatica lly to just playing an announcement.
Two-Wa

both sides of your phone conversation.

the time and day when each message
was recorded.

INSTALLATION
SELECTING A LOCATION
Select a location that is near both a modular telephone jack and an AC outlet.
Your TAD connects directly to a modular phone line jack. If the phone line jack
is not a modular jack, you must up date
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 installed is RJ11C.
CONNECTING TO THE
TELEPHONE LINE
To connect the TAD to the phone line,
plug one end of the supplied modular
cord into th e
of the TAD. Then plug the cord’s other
end into a modular phone line jack.

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD requires AC powe r to o perate.
However, if AC power fails or you unplug
the TAD-1024, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the
settings for the day, time, and security
code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-553.
Caution: Always use a fresh bat tery of
the required size and recommended
type.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift
the battery compartment cover.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly t o
the battery connector, then place
the battery into the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
When the battery is low and needs replacing,
sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in
so you do not lose the TAD’s stored information, then replace the battery. After
the battery is installed,

RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before you can set the TAD to answer
calls and record messages, you must
record the outgoing message (OGM) the
caller hears when the TAD answers a

separate messages and i t operates differently based on which message you
select (see “Setting the TAD to Answer

hangs up without letting the caller
leave a message. This i s useful for
announcing information about an
upcoming event. Be sure the
announcement clearly states that
the caller cannot leave a message.

Otherwise, the TAD answers af te r four

charges when calling by long-distance to
check your mess ages. If you hear more
than two rings, you know you can hang
up because the TAD has no new messages.

If you screen your calls but want to be
sure to know when calls come in from
certain people, give those people your
call breakthrough (CBT) code. Tell them
to enter the code during the outgoing
message.
When a caller enters the CBT code, the
TAD alerts you with two be eps, then it
pauses for 40 seconds. Then the TAD
sounds one beep every second for 5
seconds. To answer the call wit hin the
45-second alert, pick up the handset. If
you do not answer, the caller can leave
a message after a long beep sounds.
Note:
CBT works only when you use the

REMOTE OPERATION
You can operate the TAD from almost
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (available at your local RadioShack store).
:
Notes
• When the memory is full, the TAD
answers the call after eight rings
and plays OGM 2 (the announcement-only message).
• To bypass the outgoing message
and begin recording a mes sage immediately when you call the TAD
from a remote phone, you can
press # during the announcement.
The TAD skips the rest of the announcement, beeps once, and begins recording.
• If the TAD is se t to to ll save r, it an-
swers after two rings if you have
new messages (ones you have not
played). If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings
before it answers. This gives you
time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. See
“Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 10.
REMOTE ANSWER-ON
: An outgoing message must be re-
Note
corded before you can remotely se t the
TAD to answer calls.
To set the TAD to answer calls, dial your
phone number. The TAD answers the
call after 10 rings and sounds two beeps.
Enter the remote operation security
code within 8 seconds. The TAD sounds
one long and one short beep a nd plays
the OGM 1 message.
You can hang up at this point and the
TAD is set to answer calls. Or, you can
now enter other remote command(s).
If the TAD records over 8 seconds of silence, it automatically disconnects.

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 advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of yo ur right to f ile a com plaint with
the FCC.
Also, the telephone com pany can m ake
changes to its lines, equipme nt, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this TAD. The telephone
company notifies you of th ese changes
in advance so y ou can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption 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 area.
However, your TA D might cause TV or
radio interference even whe n it is operating 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
TAD and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the TAD and the radio or
TV.
Consult your local RadioShack 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 requirements. 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 unplug the TAD during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
