PREPARATION
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
The TAD requires AC power to operate.
However, if AC power fails or you un-
plug the TAD-759, a 9-volt battery (not
supplied) saves the messages, time and
day settings, memory numbers, and the
remote operation security code. We rec-
ommend a RadioShack alkaline battery.
Note: The telephone operates normally
during a power failure; however, the
TAD cannot answer and record incom-
ing calls without AC power.
Follow these steps to install the battery.
Warning: If the TAD’s modular line cord
is connected to a phone line jack, dis-
connect it before installing a battery.
This reduces the risk of electric shock.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the
required size and recommended type.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to
unlatch the battery compartment
cover (as shown), then open the
cover.
2. Snap the battery’s terminals to the
connector inside the compartment.
3. Close the cover and press down on
the latch to close it.
Replace the battery when
Lo
appears
on the message counter. Be sure the
AC adapter’s cord is plugged in while
you replace the battery, so you do not
lose any stored information.
Cautions:
• Always remove an old or weak bat-
tery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
MOUNTING THE TAD
You can place the TAD-759 on a desk,
mount it on a standard wall plate, or
mount it directly on a wall. Select a loca-
tion that is near both a modular tele-
phone line jack and an AC outlet.
Notes:
• Your TAD-759 connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
telephone wiring does not have a
modular jack, you can update it
yourself using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store, or have the telephone com-
pany update it for you.
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack).
Caution: The supplied AC adapter was
designed specifically for your TAD-759.
Use only the supplied adapter.
