FEATURES

Your Radio Shack TAD-1007 Multi-User

Digital Telephone Answering System

with Day/Time Voice Stamp is a sophis-

ticated, fully digital message center that

groups recorded messages for up to four

different users. The caller can choose to

leave a message for a specific person or

department.

The TAD stores all messages on a com-

puter chip — there are no tape mecha-

nisms 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 indi-

vidual messages.

The TAD-1007’s 26-minute memory ca-

pacity lets you store more messages

than many other TADs. And, its unique,

space-saving design makes it ideal for

any office or nightstand. Your TAD’s re-

mote control features let you retrieve

messages from almost any touch-tone

phone. With an optional pocket tone di-

aler, you can even use it from a rotary

phone.

Radio Shack is a registered trademark used by Tandy Corporation.

Your TAD’s features include:

Four User Mailboxes — let you store

and play back messages for up to four

different users.

Voice Time/Da

Stamp — announces

the time and day when each message

was recorded.

User-Selectable 3-Di

you a clear outgoing message.

Memor

Backup — protects messages

stored in memory in case of a power

failure.

Toll Saver — lets you set the TAD to

answer after two rings if there are new

messages or four rings if there are not.

This lets you hang up before the TAD

answers to avoid charges when you call

by long-distance to check your messag-

es.

Room Monitor — lets you listen from a

remote phone to the room where you in-

stalled the TAD.

43-747.fm Page 2 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:22 PM

ANSWER Button — lets you turn the

TAD on or off without disconnecting it.

Call/Message Counter — displays the

number of messages recorded.

Call Screening — lets you listen to in-

coming calls so you can decide whether

or not to answer.

Phone Pick-Up Detection — automati-

cally stops the TAD if you answer a call

after the TAD answers.

DELETE Button — lets you quickly de-

lete messages individually or all at once.

Memo Recording — lets you leave

memos for your family, roommates, or

co-workers as messages on the TAD.

To take advantage of all the TAD’s fea-

tures, we recommend that you read this

manual completely before you use the

TAD.

This TAD has been tested and certified

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your TAD to conform

to federal regulations, and you can con-

nect it to most telephone lines. However,

each device you connect to the phone

line draws power from it. This power

draw is the device’s Ringer Equivalence

Number, or REN. The REN is shown 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 one

of the devices from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your TAD complies with Part 68 of

FCC

Rules

. You must, upon request, provide

the FCC registration number and the

REN to your telephone company. Both

numbers are shown on the bottom of

the TAD.

Note: You must not connect the TAD to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key telephone sys-

tems

INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location that is near a modular

telephone jack and an AC outlet.

Your TAD connects directly to a modular

telephone line jack. If your telephone

wiring does not have a modular jack, you

can update the wiring yourself or have

the telephone company update it for

you.

• Radio Shack stores sell jacks and

adapters to convert older wiring

methods to modular wiring.

• The telephone company charges to

install the necessary jacks.

• The USOC number of the jack to be

installed is RJ11C.

CONNECTING TO THE

TELEPHONE LINE

To connect the TAD to the phone line,

plug one end of the supplied telephone

cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back

of the TAD. Then plug the other end into

a modular phone jack.

You can also connect an extension tele-

phone to the TEL SET jack on the back

of the TAD using a second telephone

cord (not supplied).

43-747.fm Page 6 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:22 PM

CONNECTING TO POWER

Insert the supplied adapter’s barrel plug

into the AC 9V jack on the back of the

TAD. Then plug the AC adapter’s other

end into a standard AC outlet.

Caution: Only use an adapter that sup-

plies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 780

milliamps, and has a plug which properly

fits the TAD’s AC 9V jack. The supplied

AC adapter meets these specifications.

Using an adapter that does not meet

these specifications might damage the

TAD or the adapter.

When you first connect power, __

flashes on the display while the TAD au-

tomatically runs a self-test. You cannot

operate the TAD during this test. When

the test is complete, the TAD beeps

once.

Lo and 00 alternately flash on the

display until you install the backup bat-

tery.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

During an AC power failure, a 9-volt bat-

tery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not sup-

plied) provides backup power so the

TAD can maintain the correct time and

memory information. However, the TAD

cannot answer incoming calls and

record messages without AC power.

Follow these steps to install the battery.

1. Slide the battery compartment

cover (located on the bottom of the

TAD) in the direction of the arrow

and lift it off.

43-747.fm Page 7 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:22 PM

2. Snap the battery’s terminals to the

connector inside the compartment.

Then place the battery inside.

3. Replace the cover

When Lo and the number of calls in

memory alternately flash on the display,

replace the battery. Be sure the AC

adapter’s cord is plugged in so you do

not lose the TAD’s stored information.

USING RESET

If the TAD does not work, press RESET

on the back of the TAD to reset the an-

swering machine.

Note: The outgoing message and all in-

formation stored in memory are deleted

when you press RESET.

43-747.fm Page 8 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:22 PM

PREPARATION

SETTING THE DAY AND

TIME

The TAD records the day and time of the

call with each phone message. Follow

these steps to set the day and time.

Notes:

• To avoid having to reset the day

and time if AC power is lost, we rec-

ommend you install a backup bat-

tery before you set the day and

time.

• If you do not press a button within 8

seconds at each step, the TAD

sounds a three-tone beep and

stops setting the day and time.

• The day and time are not set until

you complete Step 7.

1. Press and hold SET until the TAD

beeps. The TAD announces, “Sun-

day,” and 01 flashes on the display.

Note: If necessary, adjust VOLUME

at the right side of the TAD to the

desired listening level.

2. To change the day of the week,

within 8 seconds after releasing

SET, repeatedly press REPEAT to

move backward or SKIP to move

forward until the TAD announces

the desired day of the week.

3. Press and release STOP. The TAD

beeps once and announces the

time format, “AM” or “PM.”

4. To change the hour, repeatedly

press

REPEAT to move backward

or SKIP to move forward to the

desired hour.

5. Press and release STOP. The TAD

beeps once to confirm the hour set-

ting.

43-747.fm Page 9 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:22 PM

6. To change the minutes, repeatedly

press REPEAT to move backward or

SKIP to move forward to the desired

minute setting.

Note: To rapidly change the min-

utes, press and hold REPEAT or

SKIP until the desired digits appear.

7. After you set the day of the week,

the hour, and the minutes, press

STOP to confirm the settings. The

TAD beeps and announces the day

and time.

To check the current day/time at any

time, press SET.

RECORDING THE

OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before you can set the TAD to answer

calls, you must record the outgoing mes-

sage (OGM) the caller hears when the

TAD answers a call.

Note: The maximum outgoing message

length is 30 seconds.

Since the TAD can receive and save

messages for up to four different users,

the outgoing announcement should ex-

plain how to leave a message for a par-

ticular person. For example:

“You have reached the Jones resi-

dence. We are unable to come to the

phone right now, but you may press: 1

to leave a message for John, 2to leave

a message for Mary, 3to leave a mes-

sage for Susan, 4to leave a message

for Helen, or you can wait until after the

beep to leave a message for John.

Please include your name and phone

number in your message.”

ortant: Do not tell callers that you

are not home. Instead, say that you can-

not come to the phone right now.

Follow these steps to record youroutgo-

ing announcement.

1. Press and hold down ANN. The

TAD beeps.

Note: When memory is full, the

TAD announces, “Memory is full,”

and you cannot record the outgoing

message. You must delete some

messages before you can record

the outgoing message (see “Delet-

ing Messages”).
