INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
The TAD-1026’s answering system re-
quires AC power to operate. However, if
AC power fails or you unplug the TAD, a
9V backup battery (not supplied) saves
the messages and the settings for the
day, time, and security code. We recom-
mend you use an alkaline 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 Phillips screwdriver to re-
move the two screws on the battery
compartment cover and remove the
cover
2. Snap the battery connector’s con-
tacts firmly onto the battery, then
place the battery into the compart-

sure the AC adapter’s cord is plugged in
so you do not lose the TAD’s stored in-
formation, then replace the battery.
Caution:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
MOUNTING THE TAD
Select a location that is near both a mod-
ular telephone jack and an AC outlet.
Your TAD connects directly to a modu-
lar phone line jack. If the jack is not a
modular jack, you must update the wir-
ing. You can convert the wiring yourself,
using jacks and adapters available at
your local RadioShack store. Or, you
can let the phone company update the
