IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
To use the TAD’s Caller ID, you must be in
an area where Caller ID service is available,
and you must subscribe to the service.
• most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of
the following options are generally available:
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
• caller's name and number
Note:
For the TAD’s Caller ID memory dial
feature to operate, you must receive the call-
er's number.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your TAD to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the TAD line draws power
from the line. We refer to this power draw as
the TAD's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of
your TAD.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
TAD.
If you use more than one telephone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your TAD might not ring. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove one of the devices from
the line.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your TAD when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. Upon request, you must provide the
phone's FCC registration number and REN

Your RadioShack 12-Memory Speakerphone
combines a speakerphone, a high-quality ful-
ly-digital answering system and a Caller ID
unit in one system. The TAD (Telephone An-
swering Device) prevents you from missing
incoming calls and messages. Fully digital
means the TAD stores all messages on a
computer chip — there are no tape mecha-
nism to wear out and no tapes to bother with.
This gives you capabilities that tape-based
answering machine do not have. For exam-
ple, you can listen quickly from message to
message without listening to all of them.

and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the TAD
You can install an optional 9V backup battery
so if the AC power fails or you unplug the
TAD, the TAD will save the messages, time
and day settings, CBT and remote operation
security codes, and Caller ID records. For
the best performance and longest life, we
recommend you use a RadioShack alkaline
battery.
for a month or longer, remove the battery. A
battery can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
MOUNTING THE TAD
You can place the TAD on a desk or table,
mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it
directly on a wall. Select a location that is
near both an AC outlet and a modular phone
line jack.
Cautions:
Use only a fresh battery of the re-
quired size and recommended type.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the
two screws on the battery compartment
cover, then remove the cover.
Notes:
• Your TAD connects directly to a modular
telephone line jack. If your phone line
jack is not a modular jack, you can
update the wiring yourself, using jacks
and adapters available at your local
RadioShack store. Or, you can let the
phone company update the wiring for
you.
LIFT
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C.
2. Snap the battery's contacts firmly onto
the battery connector and place the bat-
tery in the compartment.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V AC
and delivers at least 400 mA.
!
AC 9V 400mA
Its plug must fit the TAD's
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the TAD or the adapter.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with the
two screws.
Replace the battery when
appears.

and slide the base downward to secure
it.
To mount the TAD directly on a wall, with
the power cord and the long modular
cords hanging down, insert the tabs on
the narrow end of the bracket into the

push the tab on the wide end of the
bracket into the lower slot on the bottom

4. Slide the handset clip out of its retaining
slot, rotate it 180° then slide it back into
its slot.

Note:
To mount the TAD directly on a wall,
you need two screws (not supplied) with
heads that fit the keyhole slots on the mount-
ing bracket. Drill two holes 315/16 inches (100
mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each
hole, letting the heads extend about 3/16 inch
(5 mm) from the wall.
5. Plug one end of the supplied coiled
handset cord into the jack on the left
side of the base. Plug the other end into
the handset's jack. Then place the hand-
set on the base.

CARE
To enjoy your RadioShack 12-Memory
Speakerphone for a long time:
• Keep the phone dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the phone only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the phone gently and carefully.
Do not drop it.
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s in-
ternal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
phone is not performing as it should, take it
to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company can ask you to dis-
connect your phone until you have resolved
the problem.
