    BATTERY The TAD requires AC power to operate. However, if AC power fails or you un- plug the TAD-1028, a 9-volt backup bat- tery (not supplied) saves the messages and the settings for the day, time, and remote operation security code. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat.
