This TAD has been tested and found to
comply with all applicable FCC stan-
dards and is UL listed.
Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When
the AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-727. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does
not need AC power to operate (not a
cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.
We recommend you record your
phone's serial number here. The num-
ber is on the bottom of the case.
Serial Number ____________________
To reduce the risk of fire or
shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain
or moisture.
WARNING:
• When AC power to the base is lost,
PFappears on the display to show
that a power failure occurred. The
TAD-727 loses the security access-
protection code connection between
the base and the handset. When
power is restored, put the handset
on the base briefly to restore this
connection so you can use the
handset.

INSTALLATION
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the
phone's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• 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, your phones
might not ring. In rural areas, a total
REN of three might impair ringer opera-
tion. If ringer operation is impaired, re-
move one of the devices from the line.
• most electronic key phone systems
This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
provide reasonable protection against
radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your equipment might
cause TV or radio interference even
when it is operating properly.
To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-
cuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

MOUNTING THE PHONE
You can place the TAD-727's base on a
desk or table, mount it on a standard
wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.
Choose a location that is:
a modular phone line jack. If your
phone line jack is not a modular
jack, you can update the wiring
yourself, using jacks and adapters
available

2 power source that supplies 9
!
volts DC and delivers at least
500 mA. Its center tip must be set to
negative and its plug must fit the TAD-
727's DC 9V AC ADAPTER jack. The sup-
plied RadioShack adapter was specifi-
cally designed for your TAD-727. Use
only the supplied adapter. Using an
adapter that does not meet these speci-
fications could damage the TAD-727 or
the adapter.

CONNECTING AND
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The TAD-727 comes with a recharge-
able nickel-cadmium battery pack in the
handset but not connected. Before using
your phone, you must connect the bat-
tery pack, then charge it for about 12
hours.
To reset the code, return the hand-
set to the base for about 2 seconds.
4. Replace the cover.

43-727.fm Page 13 Monday, December 20, 1999 4:28 PM
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset either faceup or facedown on
the base. The IN USE/CHARGE indica-
tor on the base lights.
• If the battery pack becomes weak
during a call, the handset beeps
every 16 seconds and the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. When
this happens, you cannot make
another call on the phone until you
recharge the battery pack.
Recharge the battery pack when the
TALK/LOW BATT indicator on the hand-
set flashes.
Important: Be sure the battery pack is
properly connected before you try to
charge it. The IN USE/CHARGE indica-
tor lights when the handset is on the
base, even if the battery pack is not con-
nected.
• About once a month, fully discharge
the battery pack by keeping the
handset off the base until the TALK/
LOW BATT indicator flashes. Other-
wise, the battery pack loses its abil-
ity to recharge.
• If the TALK/LOW BATT indicator
does not light and the phone does
not work, recharge the battery pack.
(The battery charge might be too
low to light the indicator.)
Notes:
• When you first use the phone after
charging or recharging the battery
pack, the phone might not work and
you might hear three beeps when
you press TALK. If this happens,
return the handset to the base for
about 2 seconds. This resets the
security access-protection code.
• If you are not going to use your
phone for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery pack.
This increases the battery pack's
usable life.
• If the battery pack is completely dis-
charged, the handset might lose its
security access-protection code. To
reset the code, return the handset to
the base for about 2 seconds.
• The supplied battery pack should
last for about a year. When it loses
its ability to fully recharge, order a
replacement battery pack from your
local RadioShack store (see
“Replacing the Battery Pack” on
Page 33).
• Using a pencil eraser, clean the
charging contacts on the handset
and the base about once a month.

the out of range signal stops, and you
can resume your phone conversation.
Notes:
• The redial memory holds up to 32
digits, so you can redial long dis-
tance as well as local numbers.
If you keep the handset out of the base's
range for 40 seconds or more, the call is
disconnected.
• The redial memory also holds pause
entries. See “Entering a Pause” on

resets to the pulse mode.
USING THE INTERCOM
You can use the TAD-727 as a two-way
pager and intercom between the base
and handset. This is useful if the hand-
set is away from the base and you want
to locate it, or if you want to have a con-
versation between someone with the
handset and someone at the base.
Note: If you do not have any special
phone services, pressing FLASH might
disconnect the current call.
USING TONE SERVICES
ON A PULSE LINE
Note: If a call comes in during an inter-
com conversation, the person using the
handset can answer the call by pressing
TALK, but the intercom call is discon-
nected.
Some special services, such as bank-
by-phone, require tone signals. If you
have pulse dialing, you can still use
these special tone services by following
these steps.
1. Be sure PULSE/TONE is set to
PULSE.
2. Dial the service's main number.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack
TAD-727 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Telephone
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your TAD-727 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the TAD-727 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the TAD-727 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age the battery pack, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD-727 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the TAD-727 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-727 to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your TAD-727’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the TAD-727 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the TAD-727.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-727’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your TAD-727 is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the
phone company can ask you to disconnect your TAD-727 until you have resolved
the problem.

• Be careful not to short the battery
pack by touching the connector's
pins with conducting materials, such
as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery pack or conductor might
overheat and burn.
REPLACING THE
BATTERY PACK
If you follow the instructions in “Connect-
ing and Charging the Battery Pack” on
Page 12, the battery pack should last
about one year. If the battery pack does
not hold a charge for more than 2 hours
after an overnight charge, replace it with
a new 3.6-volt, 600 mAh battery pack
with a connector that fits the socket in
the battery compartment. You can order
a replacement battery pack through your
local RadioShack store.
• If you have trouble replacing the
battery pack, take the phone to your
local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
Important: This tele-
phone can use nickel
cadmium rechargeable
batteries. At the end of a
nickel cadmium battery's
useful life, it must be re-

partment, route the battery pack’s
leads into the strain relief slot and
and place the battery pack into the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• You must use a replacement battery
pack of the same size and type.
• Do not dispose of the battery pack in
a fire because it might explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery
pack.

phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, the phone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini-
mize or prevent such interference, the
base of the cordless telephone should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR.
LIGHTNING
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The tele-
phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
Your telephone has built-in lightning pro-
tection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and power
line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele-
phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Your phone might cause TV or radio in-
terference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off your phone. If the interference goes
away, your phone is causing it. Try to
eliminate the interference by:
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
