The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
Follow these steps to connect your TAD
to the telephone line and phone.
1. Unplug the telephone’s modular
cord from the modular phone line
jack and plug it into the
TO
TEL
jack
on the back of the TAD.
2. Plug one end of the supplied modu-
lar telephone cord into the
TO LINE
jack on the back of the TAD.
3. Plug the cord’s other end into a
modular phone line jack.
Note:
Adjust
VOLUME
to the middle
position before connecting power.
Caution:
The supplied AC adapter
was designed specifically for your
TAD-779. Use only the supplied
adapter.
4. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug into the
AC 9V
jack on
the back of the TAD-779. Plug the
adapter’s other end into a standard
AC outlet.
When you first connect power, the TAD
runs a self-test. When the test is com-
plete (about 17 seconds), the TAD
beeps and announces, “Answer off.”
Note:
When you first connect power, the
PLAY/SKIP indicator flashes, indicating
that you have not recorded an outgoing
message. If you have not installed a
backup battery, the ANSWER indicator
also flashes.
SETTING THE DAY AND
TIME
To avoid losing the day and time set-
tings if AC power fails, we recommend
you install a backup battery before you
set the day and time (see “Installing a
Backup Battery” on Page 6).
