Note:  
You must not connect your TAD to:  
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.

BATTERY  
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.

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

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.
