INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
Select a location for the TAD-724 that
is near both a modular phone jack and
an AC outlet, and out of the way of
normal activities. You can place the
TAD on a flat surface or mount it on a
wall plate or directly on the wall.
Notes
:
If the phone line jack is not a mod-
ular jack, you must update the wir-
ing. You can convert the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at any RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the phone
company update it for you.
The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ11C for a base-
board jack or RJ11W for a wall-
plate jack.
CONNECTING POWER
Caution:
You must
use a Class 2 power
source that supplies
9 volts DC and delivers at
least 300 mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its
plug must fit the TAD-724's
9V
DC
jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications
could damage the TAD-724 or
the adapter.
1. Insert the barrel plug of the sup-
plied AC adapter into the
9V DC
300mA
jack.
2. Route the adapter’s cord into the
strain-relief slot on the bottom of
the TAD.
3. Plug the other end of the AC
adapter into a standard AC outlet.
The TAD initializes itself and the LOW
BATTERY indicator lights. Then, after
running a self test, the TAD sets all in-
ternal default values and generates a
beep.
Notes
:
Do not press any of the TAD’s but-
tons while you are plugging the
adapter into the AC outlet. If you
accidentally press a button,
unplug the adapter from the AC
outlet, then plug it back in.
