FEATURES
Your RadioShack TA D-1026 Digital An­swering System Telephone with Dual Announcements is a com bination multi­feature telephone and high quality an­swering system. Your TAD’s remote control feature lets you retrieve messag­es from almost 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-1026’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-1026 requires a 9V bat-

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD-1026’s answering system re­quires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9V backup battery (not supplied ) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and security code. We recom­mend you use an alkal ine battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

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 call. The TAD-1026 lets you record two separate messages and it operates dif­ferently based on which message you select (see “Setting the TAD to Answer Calls” on Page 20).

OGM2
(announcement only) plays the message you recorded, but hangs up without letting the caller leave a message. This is usef ul for announcing information about an upcoming event. Be sure the an­nouncement clearly states that the caller cannot leave a message. If the TAD-1026’s memory becomes full, it will automatically switch from OGM1 to OGM2 and play OGM2 for any new calls.

(Toll Saver) — If t here are new mes­sages, the TAD answers after two rings. Otherwise, the TAD answers after four rings. This lets you avoid unnecessary charges when calling by long-distance to check your messages. If you hear more than two rings, you know you can h ang up because the TAD has no n ew mes­sages.

SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the TAD answer them, then listen to the caller’s message through the TAD’s speaker. If you de­cide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same phone line as the TAD. The TAD stops recording and re­sets to answer the next call.
Note
: If you pick up the phone just as the TAD answers, the TAD might not stop playing the outgoing message. If this happens, press (on the keypad) or
STOP/T-SET
If you do not want to take the call, do not pick up the phone, and let the TAD finish recording the caller’s message.

USING CALL BREAK­THROUGH
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 beeps, then it pauses for 40 seconds. Then the TAD sounds one beep every second for 5 seconds. To answer the call within 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
OGM1 message.

REMOTE OPERATION
You can operate the TAD-1026’s an­swering system from almost an y touch­tone 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 the announcement-only message (OGM2).
• To bypass the outgoing message and begin recording a message 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 set to answers 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 19.

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 and pl ays the OGM1 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack TAD-1026 Digital Answering System Telephone with Dual­Announcements is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TAD so you can enjoy it for years.
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 carefully. Dropping it can dam age 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 electronic devices, dam­age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, 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 is not performing as it s hould, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your TAD-1026 until you have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on t he phone line, the phone company can temporarily discon­tinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not prac ti­cal, the phone compan y notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the telephone compan y can m ake changes to its lines, equipment, opera­tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this TAD. The telephone company notifies you of these chan ges in advance so you can take the neces­sary steps to prevent int erruption of your telephone services.
Your TAD complies wi th 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 TAD might cause TV or radio interference even when it is oper­ating properly.
FCC Rules
. These limits pro-
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 bui lt-in p rotection c ircuits to reduce the risk of damage from surg­es in telephone line and power line c ur­rent. 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 com mon. 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.
