FEATURES

Your Radio Shack TAD-1004 Fully Dig-

ital TAD with Voice Stamp and Speed

Dial Memory Telephone is a combina-

tion multi-feature telephone and high

quality answering system. Fully digital

means the TAD stores all messages on

a computer chip — there are no tape

mechanisms to wear out and no tapes

to bother with. This gives you capabili-

ties that tape-based answering ma-

chines don’t have. For example, you

can delete individual messages.

The TAD-1004’s 14-minute memory ca-

pacity is more than enough to meet

most users’ needs. 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.

Your TAD’s features include:

Voice Time/Da

Stamp — announces

the time and day each message was re-

corded.

ital Out

oin

e— gives

you a clear outgoing message.

ital Incomin

number of messages recorded.

User Selectable 3-Di

it Securit

DELETE Button — lets you quickly

erase messages individually or all at

once.

Memo Recording — lets you leave

memos for your family, roommates, or

co-workers as messages on the TAD.

phone after two rings when you have

messages. Otherwise, it answers after

four rings. This lets you hang up before

the TAD answers to avoid charges

when you call by long-distance to check

your messages.

remote phone to the room where you in-

stalled the TAD.

Flash — sends an electronic switch-

hook signal for specialized telephone

services such as call waiting.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your TAD to conform

to federal regulations, and you can con-

nect it to most telephone lines. Howev-

er, 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 marked on the bottom of

the TAD.

Note: You must not connect the TAD to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Electronic key telephone systems

INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location that is near a modular

telephone jack and an AC outlet.

Your TAD connects directly to a modu-

lar telephone line jack. If your tele-

phone 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, or RJ11W for

a wall mount jack.

CONNECTING TO POWER

Insert the supplied AC 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 proper-

ly fits the TAD’s AC 9V jack. The sup-

plied 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 and 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 and Lo and 00 alternately flash

on the display until you install the back-

up battery.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

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

tery provides backup power so the TAD

can maintain the correct time and mem-

ory information. For the best perfor-

mance, we recommend an alkaline

battery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not

supplied).

Note: The telephone operates normally

during a power failure; however, the

TAD cannot answer and record incom-

ing calls without AC power.

43-744.fm Page 6 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:10 PM

Follow these steps to install the battery.

1. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to

push the latch on the battery com-

partment cover, then lift the cover.

2. Snap the battery’s terminals to the

connector inside the compartment.

3. Replace the cover and press down

on the latch to close it securely.

When the battery is low and needs re-

placing, Lo and 00 alternately flash on

the display. Be sure the AC adapter’s

cord is plugged in while you replace the

battery, 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 erased

when you press RESET.

WALL MOUNTING

You can mount the TAD on a standard

wall plate or directly on the wall, using

two screws with heads that fit into the

keyhole slots on the back of your TAD.

On a Wall Plate

1. Plug one end of the supplied short

modular cord into the jack on the

back of the TAD.

2. Plug the other end of the modular

cord into the wall plate jack.

3. Snap the supplied mounting

bracket into the slots on the bottom

of the TAD.

43-744.fm Page 7 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:10 PM

Note: Be sure the keyhole slots on

the bracket and the TAD are

pointed in the same direction.

4. Align the wall plate’s two studs with

the keyhole slots on the bottom of

the TAD. Slide the TAD down onto

the studs to secure the TAD to the

wall plate.

5. Slide the handset clip up and out of

its retaining slot in the base. Rotate

the clip so the tab points up, then

slide the clip back into its slot.

Hang the handset on the base.

Directly on a Wall

1. Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100

mm) apart.

2. Thread a screw (not supplied) into

each hole until the head extends

only about 3/16 of an inch (5mm)

from the wall.

3. Snap the supplied mounting

bracket into the slots on the bottom

of the TAD.

Note: Be sure the keyhole slots on

the bracket and the TAD are

pointed in the same direction.

4. Align the two screws with the key-

hole slots on the bottom of the

TAD. Slide the TAD down onto the

screws to secure the TAD to the

wall.

43-744.fm Page 8 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:10 PM

5. Plug one end of the supplied long

modular cord into the TEL LINE jack

on top of the phone’s base.

6. Plug the cord’s other end into a

modular phone line jack.

7. Slide the handset clip up and out of

its retaining slot in the base. Rotate

the clip so the tab points up, then

slide the clip back into its slot.

Hang the handset on the base.

CONNECTING THE

HANDSET CORD

If you place the TAD on a desk or table,

or after you mount the TAD (see “Wall

Mounting”), plug one end of the coiled

cord into the jack on the left side of the

phone’s base. Plug the other end into

the jack on the handset.

43-744.fm Page 9 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:10 PM

PREPARATION

SETTING THE PULSE/

TONE SWITCH

Set PULSE/TONE for the type of service

you have. If you are not sure which type

you have, follow these steps.

1. Set PULSE/TONE on the back of the

TAD to TONE.

2. Lift the handset and listen for a dial

tone.

3. Press any number other than 0.

If the dial tone stops, you have touch-

tone service. Leave PULSE/TONE set to

TONE.

If the dial tone continues, you have

pulse service. Set PULSE/TONE to

PULSE.

Note: The #and Sbuttons have no

function in the pulse mode.

SETTING THE DAY AND

TIME

The TAD records the day and time of

the call with each phone message. Fol-

low these steps to set the day and time.

Notes:

• To avoid resetting the time if AC

power is lost, we recommend you

install a backup battery before you

set the day and time.

• If you do not complete each step

within 8 seconds, the TAD sounds

three beeps and stops setting the

day and time. Start again from Step

1. Press and hold SET until the TAD

beeps. The TAD announces, “Sun-

day,” and 01 appears on the dis-

play.

Note: If necessary, adjust VOLUME

on the right side of the TAD to the

desired listening level.

2. Press REPEAT/CODE to set back

the day or SKIP/MEMO to advance

the day until the TAD announces

the desired day of the week.
