MOUNTING THE TAD
Select a location that is near both a
modular telephone jack and an AC out-
let. You can place the TAD on a desk, or
mount it on a wall plate or directly on a
wall.
Your TAD-764 connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If the jack
is not a modular jack, you must update
the wiring. You can convert the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can let the telephone
company update the wiring for you. The
USOC number of the jack to be installed
is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall plate
jack.
Note:
Adjust
VOLUME
(located on the
TAD’s right side) to the middle position
before connecting power.
Caution:
The supplied adapter sup-
plies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 440
milliamps, and has a plug which proper-
ly fits the TAD’s
AC 9V 440mA
jack. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet these
specifications might damage the TAD or
the adapter.
