Troubleshooting

We do not expect you to have any problems with your TAD, but if you do, these suggestions
might help.
Problem
The incoming message is
incomplete.
The incoming message is
unclear.
The TAD does not answer
after two, four, or seven
rings.
appears on the dis-
play.
The TAD does not respond
to the remote operation
security code.
Display is blank.
The TAD dials 1+ area code
+ number when dialing a
local number from a Caller
ID record.
The TAD can receive and
display Caller ID records but
does not operate.
If you still have problems, disconnect the TAD. If other phones on the same line work properly,
the fault is in this TAD or its installation. If you cannot find the problem, take the TAD to your lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance.

Be sure the memory is not full.
Be sure SPEAKER VOL MIN/MAX is set to the desired sound level.
Be sure the TAD is set to answer calls.
The backup battery is weak. Replace the battery (see "Installing a Backup
Battery" on Page 7).
Make sure the phone you used to dial the TAD is a touch-tone phone, or
use a pocket tone dialer.
Re-enter your remote operation security code, pressing each button for 2
seconds.
Make sure the remote operation security code you entered is correct, or
try entering the default code of 705. The remote operation security code
might have reset to the default code due to a power failure and weak
backup battery.
Batteries are weak or not installed and AC adapter is not connected.
Store the local area code (see "Setting the Area Code" on Page 9).
Make sure the AC power is properly connected. If the AC power fails, the
TAD can receive Caller ID recorders but cannot operate with only backup
battery power.
