TROUBLESHOOTING

We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD-277, but if you do, be
sure you installed the tape correctly and turned on the system. If you still have a
problem, this chart might help. If not, take the TAD-277 to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
Problem
The TAD-277 does
not answer and
record callers' mes-
sages.
The TAD-277 records
a dial tone, beeping,
or the operator's

sound distorted.
Cause
The system is turned off.
The outgoing message
is not recorded.

signals.

turned on by remote.
The TAD-277 is locked

You were too close to
the microphone or you

If this happens often, dis-
cuss the problem with your
