900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless

FEATURES
Your RadioShack TAD-727 900 MHz
Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone uses advanced cordless telephone technology to give you superior
audio quality and extended range.
The TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
has about a 15 minute record capacity
and stores all messages on a microchip.
This gives you advanced capabilities
over tape-based answering machines.
For example, you can delete individual
messages and save the rest. Because
your TAD is fully digital, there are no
tapes to bother with, no tape mechanisms to wear out, and no lost me ssages if power fails.
The remote operation feature lets you
access your TAD from a touch-tone
phone, and guides you through system
operation with voice prompts.

Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When
the AC power is off, you c annot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-727. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does
not need AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive c alls if t here is a n
AC power failure.
• When AC power to the base is los t,
appears on the display to show

that a power failure occurred. The
TAD-727 loses the security acces sprotection code c onn ectio n between
the base and the handset. When

INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and yo u can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of you r
phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the li ne, add up all th e REN s.
If the total is more than five, your phones
might not ring. In rural areas, a total
REN of three might impa ir ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone c ompli es with Par t 68 o f
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the TAD-727's base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it direc tly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:
• near an AC outlet
• near a telephone line jack
• out of the way of normal activities
• away from electrical machinery,
electrical applia nces, metal walls or
filing cabinets, wireless intercoms,
alarms, and room monitors
• away from other cordless phones
The base's location affects the handset's range. If you have a c hoice of sev eral locations, try each to see which
provides the best performance.
Caution:

Notes:
• Your telephone connects dir ectly to
a modular phone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available from your local

the telephone company update the
wiring for you.
• The USOC number of th e jack to be
installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack.

access protection code on the handset was lost.
The TAD-727 comes with a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must c onnect the battery pack, then charge it for about 12
hours.
To reset the code, return the handset to the base for about 2 seconds.
4. Replace the cover.
12
43-727.fm Page 13 Monday, December 20, 1999 4:28 PM
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The IN U SE/CHARGE indi cator on the base lights.
Recharge the battery pack when the
TALK/LOW BATT indicator on the handset flashes.
Important:
Be sure the battery pack i s
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The IN USE/CHA RGE indicator lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not connected.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 16 seconds and the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. When
this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone un til you
recharge the battery pack.
• About once a month, full y discharg e
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until th e TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. Otherwise, the battery pack loses its ability to recharge .
Notes:
• When you first use the phone afte r
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear three beeps when
you press
TALK
. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for
about 2 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
• If the battery pack is complete ly dis charged, the handset m ight lose its
security acce ss-protection code. To
reset the code, return the handset to
the base for about 2 seconds.
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.
• If the TALK/LOW BATT indicator
does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pac k.
(The battery charge might be too
low to light the indicator.)
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack's
usable life.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on

SELECTING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
The TAD has two prerecorded me ssages. One asks the caller t o leave a message (“Hello, no on e is available to take
your call. Please leave your message after the tone.”), the other is an announcement and does not let t he caller lea ve a
message (“Hello, no one is available to
take your call.”). You can also record
your own message (see “Recording an
Outgoing Message”).
RECORDING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
You can record your own message up to
1 minute long for the caller to hear when
the TAD answers a call. You c an u se either the base or the handset to record
the message.
Hints:
• Do not tell callers that you are not
home. Instead, say th at you cannot
come to the phone right now.
• When you record an announcement-only message, be sure that
the caller understands he or she
cannot leave a message.

Severe noise interference.
The phone cannot be operated at a useful
distance from the base because the signal
becomes weak or noisy (handset’s range
has decreased).
The TAD does not answer calls. Make sure the TAD is set to on.
Keep the handset away from computers,

Handle the TAD-727 gent ly and carefully. Dro pping it can damage ci rcuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-727 to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteri es of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your TAD-727’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the TAD-727 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh ch emicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the TAD-727.

REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connecting and Charging t he Battery Pack” on
Page 12, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the batte ry pack doe s
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight char ge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. Y ou can or der
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
Install the new battery pack as described below, then charge it for about
12 hours.
1. Press down and slide off the battery
pack compartment cover as shown.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the compartment, then gently pull on the
battery connector to disconnect it.
3. Insert the new battery pack's connector into the socket in the compartment, route the battery pack’s
leads into the strain relief slot and
and place the battery pack into the
compartment.
• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector's
pins with conducting ma ter ials , suc h
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might
