INSTALLATION
Your TAD-764 conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
you connect to the phone line draws
power from the phone line. We refer to
this power draw as the device’s
equivalence number
is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs.
If the total is more than five (or three in
rural areas), your phone(s) might not
ring and your TAD might not answer. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.

MOUNTING THE TAD
Select a location that is near both a
modular telephone jack and an A C out let. You can place the TAD on a desk, or
mount it on a wall plate or directly on a
wall.
Your TAD-764 connects directly to a
modular telephone li ne jack. If the jack
is 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 telephone
company update the wiring for you. The
USOC number of the jack to be installed
is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack.
