Your TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is
ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable FCC standards.
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the TAD’s Caller ID, you must be in
an area where Caller ID service is available,
and you must subscribe to the service.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of
the following options are generally available:
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
• caller's name and number
Note:
For the TAD’s Caller ID memory dial
feature to operate, you must receive the caller's number.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your TAD to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the TAD line draws power
from the line. We refer to this power draw as
the TAD's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of
your TAD.
If you use more than one telephone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your TAD might not ring. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove one of the devices from
the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. Upon request, you must provide the
phone's FCC registration number and REN
FCC
to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of the base.
Note:
You must not connect your TAD to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes
problems on the 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 practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line 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
your TAD when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.

Features
Your RadioShack 12-Memory Speakerphone
combines a speakerphone, a high-quality fully-digital answering system and a Caller ID
unit in one system. The TAD (Telephone Answering Device) prevents you from missing
incoming calls and messages. Fully digital
means the TAD stores all messages on a
computer chip — there are no tape mechanism to wear out and no tapes to bother with.
This gives you capabilities that tape-based
answering machine do not have. For example, you can listen quickly from message to
message without listening to all of them.
The TAD also shows the caller's telephone
number (and name, if available in your area)
and the current date and time, as provided
by your local phone company to Caller ID
service subscribers. It saves up to 62 Caller
ID records that you can review and call back.

INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
You can install an optional 9V backup battery
so if the AC power fails or you unplug the
TAD, the TAD will save the messages, time
and day settings, CBT and remote operation
security codes, and Caller ID records. For
the best performance and longest life, we
recommend you use a RadioShack alkaline
battery.
Cautions:

Warning:
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution:
for a month or longer, remove the battery. A
battery can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Dispose of old batteries promptly
If you do not plan to use the TAD
MOUNTING THE TAD
You can place the TAD on a desk or table,
mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it
directly on a wall. Select a location that is
near both an AC outlet and a modular phone
line jack.
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your phone line
jack is not a modular jack, you can
update 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.
2. Snap the battery's contacts firmly onto
the battery connector and place the battery in the compartment.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with the
two screws.
Replace the battery when appears.
Cautions:
Preparation
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V AC
and delivers at least 400 mA.
Its plug must fit the TAD's
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the TAD or the adapter.

In some telephone systems, you must dial an
access code (9, for example) and wait for a
second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the access code

should also store a pause after the access
code to allow the outside line time to connect.

TAD Operation
RECORDING THE
OUTGOING MESSAGES
Before the TAD (Telephone Answering Device) can answer calls and record messages,
you must record an outgoing message
(OGM). The TAD lets you record two separate messages, and it operates differently
based on which message you select.
OGM 1
— After playing your outgoing mes-
sage, the TAD records the caller's message.
OGM 2
(announce-only) — The TAD plays
your outgoing message, but does not record
a message.
Notes:
• The maximum length for each outgoing
message is 32 seconds. As you record,
the message counter shows the recording time.
• If you plan to use the TAD's announceonly feature, OGM 2 should clearly state
that the caller cannot leave a message.
OGM1
•
OGM1 or OGM2 is recorded.
Follow these steps to record an outgoing
message.

the TAD beeps and the timer starts

CARE
To enjoy your RadioShack 12-Memory
Speakerphone for a long time:
• Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the phone only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the phone gently and carefully.
Do not drop it.
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
phone is not performing as it should, 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 phone until you have resolved
the problem.
