FCC STATEMENT  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC  
Rules. You must, upon request, provide  
the FCC registration number and the  
REN to your telephone company. Both  
numbers are shown on the bottom of  
the TAD.  
We have designed your TAD to conform  
to federal regulations, and you can con-  
nect it to most telephone lines. However,  
each device you connect to the phone  
line draws power from it. This power  
draw is the device’s Ringer Equivalence  
Number, or REN. The REN is shown on  
the bottom of the TAD.  
Note: You must not connect the TAD to:  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
If you use more than one phone or other  
device on the line, add up all the RENs.  
If the total is more than five (or three in  
rural areas), your phone(s) might not  
ring and your TAD might not answer. If  
ringer operation is impaired, remove one  
of the devices from the line.  
• Most electronic key telephone sys-  
tems

INSTALLATION  
CONNECTING TO THE  
TELEPHONE LINE  
CHOOSING A LOCATION  
Select a location that is near a modular  
telephone jack and an AC outlet.  
To connect the TAD to the phone line,  
plug one end of the supplied telephone  
cord into the TEL LINE jack on the back  
of the TAD. Then plug the other end into  
a modular phone jack.  
Your TAD connects directly to a modular  
telephone line jack. If your telephone  
wiring does not have a modular jack, you  
can update the wiring yourself or have  
the telephone company update it for  
you.  
• Radio Shack stores sell jacks and  
adapters to convert older wiring  
methods to modular wiring.  
• The telephone company charges to  
install the necessary jacks.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ11C.  
You can also connect an extension tele-  
phone to the TEL SET jack on the back  
of the TAD using a second telephone  
cord (not supplied).

During an AC power failure, a 9-volt bat-  
tery (such as Cat. No. 23-553, not sup-

TAD. Then plug the AC adapter’s other  
end into a standard AC outlet.  
Follow these steps to install the battery.  
1. Slide the battery compartment  
cover (located on the bottom of the  
TAD) in the direction of the arrow  
and lift it off.  
Caution: Only use an adapter that sup-  
plies 9 volts AC, delivers at least 780  
milliamps, and has a plug which properly  
AC 9V  
fits the TAD’s  
jack. The supplied  
AC adapter meets these specifications.  
Using an adapter that does not meet  
these specifications might damage the  
TAD or the adapter.

: The maximum outgoing message  
Note  
length is 30 seconds.

Note:  
TAD announces, “Memory is full,”  
and you cannot record the outgoing  
message. You must delete some  
messages before you can record  
the outgoing message (see “Delet-  
ing Messages”).  
Since the TAD can receive and save  
messages for up to four different users,  
the outgoing announcement should ex-  
plain how to leave a message for a par-  
ticular person. For example:

2. While holding down ANN, speak in a  
normal voice about 8 inches away  
from the microphone (located on  
the front of the TAD). Ask for the  
caller’s name, phone number, and  
message. The display shows how  
much time is left for recording.  
SETTING 2/4/TS  
2/4/TS on the back of the TAD controls  
how long the TAD waits before it an-  
swers a call.  
3. When you finish recording, release  
ANN. The TAD automatically beeps

TS (Toll Saver) — If there are no new  
messages, the TAD answers after four  
rings. If there are new messages in any  
mailbox, the TAD answers after about  
two rings. This lets you avoid unneces-  
sary toll charges when calling by long-  
distance to check your messages. If you  
hear more than two rings, the TAD has  
no new messages. Hang up before the  
TAD answers so you will not be charged  
for the call.  
To play the outgoing message at any  
time, press and release ANN. If no out-  
going message is recorded, the TAD  
says “No announcement.”

BASIC OPERATION  
RECORDING INCOMING  
MESSAGES  
SETTING THE TAD TO  
ANSWER CALLS  
After the TAD answers a call, the outgo-  
ing message plays. After the TAD  
beeps at the end of the announcement,  
the caller must select a mailbox by en-  
tering a number (1-4). The TAD an-  
nounces, “Record Mailbox” and the  
mailbox number. If the caller does not  
select a mailbox, the recorded message  
is left in Mailbox 1.  
To set the TAD to answer calls, press  
ANSWER.  
• If an outgoing message is recorded,  
the TAD announces, “Answer on,”  
and the indicator in the call/mes-  
sage counter window lights.  
• If no outgoing message is recorded,  
the TAD says, “Answer off, no  
announcement.” (See “Recording  
the Outgoing Message.”)  
The maximum incoming message re-  
cording length is 60 seconds. If a re-  
cording reaches 55 seconds, the TAD  
beeps once to notify the caller that time  
will be up soon. If a recording reaches  
60 seconds, the TAD beeps three times,  
then disconnects.  
The TAD automatically stops and hangs  
up if it detects silence for over 8 sec-  
onds.  
If the memory is full, the TAD announc-  
es, “Memory is full” and displays FL,  
then disconnects.  
To have the TAD not answer calls, press  
ANSWER again. The TAD says “Answer  
off,” and the indicator turns off.

(Or, to play only the new messages,  
press and hold down the mailbox but-  
ton.) The TAD announces “Mailbox __”  
and the number of messages (or new  
messages) stored in that mailbox.  
SCREENING CALLS  
Your TAD lets you listen as callers leave  
messages. If you want to speak to a call-  
er, pick up any phone on the same line  
and begin speaking. The TAD detects  
when you pick up the phone and auto-  
matically resets to answer the next call.  
Note: If you pick up the phone exactly  
when the TAD answers, you might need  
STOP  
to press  
to stop the TAD, or hang  
up momentarily, then pick up the phone  
again.  
Notes:  
If you do not want to take the call, do not  
pick up the handset, and let the TAD fin-  
ish recording the caller’s message.  
• If you check all messages and  
there are no messages stored in  
the selected mailbox, the TAD  
says, “Mailbox __, no message.”  
• If you check new messages and  
there are no new messages stored  
in the selected mailbox, the TAD  
says, “Mailbox __, no new mes-  
sage.”  
PLAYING MESSAGES  
The TAD stores each message in one of  
the four mailboxes, depending on which  
mailbox the caller selected. If there are  
new messages in a mailbox, the mail-  
box’s indicator flashes until all the new  
messages have been played. The dis-  
play shows the total number of messag-  
es in all mailboxes.  
The TAD announces the mailbox num-  
ber and the total number of messages  
for that mailbox. Before playing each  
message, the TAD announces the mes-  
sage number and the day and time  
when each message was recorded. Af-  
ter all messages play, the TAD says,  
“End of message(s)” and saves all the  
messages.  
To play all the messages in a mailbox,

REMOTE OPERATION  
You can operate the TAD from almost  
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary  
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (avail-  
able at your local Radio Shack store).  
The TAD’s remote operation security  
code is preset to 747. You can operate  
your TAD remotely with this code; how-  
ever, we recommend that you set your  
own code.  
CHANGING THE REMOTE  
OPERATION SECURITY  
CODE  
Notes:  
• You can set the security code to  
any number from 500 to 999.  
• Be sure to set each digit within 8  
seconds. Otherwise, you must start  
over from Step 1.  
Notes:  
• When the memory is full, the TAD  
answers the call after two rings and  
announces, “Memory is full.”  
• Do not use three identical digits  
(such as 999) for the security code.  
Numbers like this are too easy for  
others to guess!  
To bypass the outgoing message  
and begin recording a message  
immediately when you call the TAD  
from a remote phone, you can  
press ] on touch tone phones (or a  
pocket tone dialer if you use a  
rotary phone) when the announce-  
ment begins. The TAD skips the  
rest of the announcement, beeps  
once, and begins recording.  
• If AC power fails and no battery is  
installed or if the backup battery  
becomes weak, the remote opera-  
tion security code automatically  
resets to 747.  
1. Press and hold CODE for about 2  
seconds. The TAD beeps, and the  
first digit of the preset code  
appears on the display.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack TAD-1007 Multi-User Digital Telephone Answering System with  
Day/Time Voice Stamp is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-  
lowing suggestions will help you care for the TAD so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the TAD dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might  
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the TAD gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit  
boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.  
Use and store the TAD only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the TAD away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Wipe the TAD with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  
CLEANER  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents  
to clean the TAD.  
Modifying or tampering with the TAD’s internal components can cause a malfunction  
and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate  
it. If your TAD-1007 Multi-User Digital Telephone Answering System with Day/Time  
Voice Stamp is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for  
assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company might ask  
you to disconnect your TAD until you have resolved the problem.

To eliminate interference, you can try  
one or more of the following corrective  
measures:  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO  
KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your TAD caus-  
es problems on the telephone line, the  
telephone company attempts to notify  
you in advance. If advance notice is not  
practical, the telephone company noti-  
fies you as soon as possible and advises  
you of your right to file a complaint with  
the FCC.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
radio or TV antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
TAD and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical  
circuits for the TAD and the radio or  
TV.  
Also, the telephone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this TAD. The telephone  
company notifies you of these changes  
in advance so you can take the neces-  
sary steps to prevent interruption of your  
telephone service.  
Consult your local Radio Shack store if  
the problem still exists.  
LIGHTNING  
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits  
to reduce the risk of damage from surg-  
es in telephone and power line current.  
These protection circuits meet or ex-  
ceed the FCC requirements. However,  
lightning striking the telephone or power  
lines can damage your TAD.  
Your TAD complies with the limits for a  
Class B digital device as specified in  
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-  
vide reasonable protection against radio  
and TV interference in a residential area.  
However, your TAD might cause TV or  
radio interference even when it is oper-  
ating properly.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest  
that you unplug the TAD during storms  
to reduce the possibility of damage.
