We have designed your Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device, such as a telephone or answering machine, that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your TAD. If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. 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. Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip- ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the oper

Features Your RadioShack Digital Answering System TAD 3809 stores all your messages on a computer chip — there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to bother with. This gives you capabilities not available in tape-based answering ma- chines. For example, you can delete individual messages with- out listening to every one. The TAD’s 16-minute memory capacity lets you store more messages than many other TADs (telephone answering devic- es). Its unique, space-saving design makes it ide

Toll Saver — gives you time to hang up before the TAD an- swers to avoid charges when you call by long-distance to check your messages. Room Monitor — lets you listen from a remote phone to the room where your TAD is located. Digital Outgoing Message — gives you a clear outgoing mes- sage up to 60 seconds long. To take advantage of all the TAD’s features, we recommend that you read this manual completely before you use the TAD. Installation CHOOSING A LOCATION Select a location that is nea

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERY The TAD requires AC power to operate. If AC power fails, or you unplug the TAD, a 9-volt battery (not supplied) provides backup power so the TAD can maintain the correct time and memory information. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend a RadioShack alkaline battery. Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec- ommended type. Follow these steps to install the battery. 1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to unlatch the battery compar

Notes: • Be sure to set each digit within 8 seconds of the last. Other- wise, the TAD exits setup and you must start again from Step 1. • We recommend you not use three identical digits (such as 999) for the security code.
