TAD-510 (430-0750) Installation Faxback Doc. # 6317 CHOOSING A LOCATION Choose a location for the TAD that is: Not in the way of normal activities Near a telephone jack Near an AC outlet CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE The TAD comes with a modular plug installed on the end of the phone cable. Connect the TAD directly to the phone line by plugging it into a standard modular phone jack. Note: If you want to connect both the TAD and a phone to the same jack, you will need a duplex jack, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 279-357. If you do not have telephone jacks, you can: Update the wiring yourself. Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters necessary to convert from older wiring methods to modular wiring. Have the telephone company update the telephone wiring for you. Note: The telephone company will charge you for the jack installation. They also will ask for the USOC number of the jack to be installed. This number is RJ-11C. CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER Follow these steps to connect the supplied AC adapter to the TAD. Caution: Use only the supplied adapter with the TAD. Using another type of adapter might damage the TAD. 1. Plug the small end of the supplied Class 11 9-volt, 400 mA AC adapter into the DC 9V jack on the back of the TAD. 2. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet. The red POWER indicator lights. 3. Run the AC adapter cord through the strain-relief slot on the back of the TAD. This prevents the cord from being accidentally unplugged. LOADING CASSETTES Your TAD comes with two cassette tapes: the SFC-1 (for the outgoing announcement with 30 seconds recording per side), and the SFC-60 (for incoming messages with 30 minutes recording per side). Your local Radio Shack store has varying lengths of replacement tapes. Follow these steps to load both cassettes. 1. Take up any tape slack by turning the cassette hub with a pencil. Note: If there are STOPPER brackets on the cassettes, remove them before you take up the tape slack. 2. Lift open the cassette compartment door and remove the plastic tab. Then load the cassettes with their full reels to the left and their open edges toward the front of the TAD. Load the SFC-1 cassette in the OUTGOING compartment. Load the SFC-60 cassette in the INCOMING compartment. Notes: If you want to set the TAD to play the outgoing announcement without recording incoming messages, load only the outgoing announcement cassette (SFC-1). To set the TAD to answer and record calls, you must load both cassettes. Replace both cassettes at least once a year, or more often if used heavily. Do not use the SCF-1 cassette in the INCOMING cassette compartment. The SFC-1 cassette is not long enough for more than one message. The window on the cassette compartment door lets you see if the incoming message cassette is installed and if the tape is full. (When it is, the full reel is on the right). (LB/smc-05/05/94)
