INSTALLATION
INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD-764 requires AC power to op­erate. However, if AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a 9-volt backup battery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and re­mote operation security code. We rec­ommend you use a RadioShack alkaline battery.

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.
Note:
Adjust TAD’s right side) to the middle position before connecting power.
