Caution: The supplied adapter supplies
9 volts AC, delivers at least 400 milli-
amps, and has a plug which properly fits
the TAD’s
DC 9V
jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
might damage the TAD or the adapter.
When you first connect power, the TAD
beeps once and the message counter
counts up from 0 to 10. Then the TAD
beeps.

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD requires AC power to operate.
However, if AC power fails or you unplug
the TAD-1024, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the
settings for the day, time, and security
code. We recommend you use an alka-
line battery, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-553.
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
Follow these steps to install the backup
battery.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift
the battery compartment cover.
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to
the battery connector, then place
the battery into the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
When the battery is low and needs re-
placing,
Lo
appears on the display. Be
sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in
so you do not lose the TAD’s stored in-
formation, then replace the battery. After
the battery is installed,
A1
,
A2

CL

alternately appear.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
