To take advantage of all the TAD-1027’s  
features, we recommend that you read  
this manual completely before you use  
the TAD.  
READ THIS BEFORE  
INSTALLATION  
Your TAD-1027 conforms to federal reg-  
ulations, and you can connect it to most  
telephone lines. However, each device  
you connect to the phone line draws  
power from the phone line. We refer to  
this power draw as the device’s ringer  
equivalence number, or REN. The REN  
is on the label on the bottom of the TAD.  
This TAD has been tested and certified  
to comply with all applicable UL and FCC  
standards.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of  
fire or shock hazard, do not ex-  
pose this product to rain or mois-  
ture.  
If you are using more than one phone or  
other device on the line, add up all the  
RENs. If the total is more than five (or  
three in rural areas), your phone(s) might  
not ring and your TAD might not answer.  
If ringer operation is impaired, remove a  
device from the line.  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
!
DO NOT OPEN.  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE  
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-  
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-  
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.  
FCC STATEMENT  
This symbol is intended to alert you to  
the presence of uninsulated danger-  
ous voltage within the product’s enclo-  
sure that might be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-  
tric shock. Do not open the product’s  
case.  
Your TAD-1027 complies with Part 68 of  
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,  
provide the FCC Registration Number  
and the REN to your phone company.  
Both numbers are on the label on the  
bottom of the TAD.  
This symbol is intended to inform you  
that important operating and mainte-  
nance instructions are included in the  
literature accompanying this product.  
You must not connect the TAD-1027 to  
any of the following:

INSTALLATION  
Note: The TAD cannot answer and  
record incoming calls without AC power.  
CHOOSING A LOCATION  
Select a location that is near both a mod-  
ular telephone jack and an AC outlet.  
Follow these steps to install the backup  
battery.  
Your TAD-1027 connects directly to a  
modular telephone line jack. If the tele-  
phone line jack is not a modular jack, you  
must update the wiring. You can convert  
the wiring yourself, using jacks and  
adapters available at your local Ra-  
dioShack store. Or, you can let the tele-  
phone company update the wiring for  
you. The USOC number of the jack to be  
installed is RJ11C.  
1. Slide the battery compartment cover  
in the direction of the arrow, then lift  
off the cover.  
Illus. showing removal  
of battery compartment  
cover.  
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly to  
the TAD-1027’s connector and place  
the battery into the compartment.  
INSTALLING THE  
BACKUP BATTERY  
The TAD requires AC power to operate.  
However, if AC power fails or you unplug  
the TAD-1027, a 9-volt backup battery  
(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 Ra-  
dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.  
Illus. showing  
connection of connector  
to battery terminals.  
Warning: If the TAD’s modular line cord  
is already connected to the telephone  
line jack, disconnect it before you install  
the backup battery. This reduces the risk  
of electric shock.  
3. Replace the cover.  
Caution: Always use a fresh battery of  
the required size and recommended  
type.

When you first connect power, the PLAY/  
SKIP indicator flashes rapidly (until you  
record the outgoing message), the AN-  
SWER indicator flashes (until you install  
a backup battery), and the TAD-1027 au-  
tomatically runs a self-test. You cannot  
operate the TAD during this test. When

REMOTE OPERATION  
You can operate the TAD-1027 from al-  
most any touch-tone phone, or from a ro-  
tary phone using a pocket tone-dialer  
(available at your local RadioShack  
store).  
USING REMOTE  
COMMANDS  
Notes:  
• The TAD-1027 sounds a 3-tone  
beep if you press the wrong button.  
Notes:  
• When the memory is full, the TAD-  
1027 answers the call after two  
rings and announces, “Memory is  
full.” Delete some of the old mes-  
sages to make room in memory  
(see “Using Remote Commands”).  
• You must record an outgoing mes-  
sage before you can remotely set  
the TAD-1027 to answer calls.  
1. Dial your phone number.  
• If the TAD-1027 is set to answer-  
off and an outgoing message is  
recorded, it answers the call after  
10 rings and announces, “Answer  
off.”  
• If the ring select switch is set to TS  
(toll saver), the TAD-1027 answers  
after two rings if you have new mes-  
sages (ones you have not played). If  
there are no new messages, the  
TAD waits for four rings before it  
answers. This gives you time to  
hang up before the TAD-1027  
answers so you can avoid unneces-  
sary long-distance charges.  
• If the TAD-1027 is set to answer-  
on, it answers according to the  
number of rings you set.  
2. Within 8 seconds, enter the remote  
operation security code. The TAD  
beeps.  
Note: If you do not enter each digit  
of the security code within 8 sec-  
onds, the TAD-1027 will disconnect.  
3. Enter the remote command code  
(see “Remote Command Codes” on  
Page 15).  
4. You can hang up at this point or  
enter other remote command(s).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack TAD-1027 Digital Telephone Answering System with Day/Time  
Voice Stamp is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following sug-  
gestions will help you care for the TAD-1027 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the TAD-1027 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the TAD-1027 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the TAD-1027 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Handle the TAD-1027 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD to work improperly.  
Use only a fresh battery of the required size and type. Batteries can leak  
chemicals that damage your TAD-1027’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the TAD-1027 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.  
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1027’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your TAD-1027 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-  
dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone  
company can ask you to disconnect your TAD until you have resolved the problem.

In the unlikely event that your TAD-1027  
causes problems on the telephone line,  
the telephone company can temporarily  
discontinue your service. If this happens,  
the telephone company attempts to noti-  
fy you in advance. If advance notice is  
not practical, the telephone company no-  
tifies you as soon as possible and advis-  
es you of your right to file a complaint  
with the FCC.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
radio or TV antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
TAD-1027 and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical cir-  
cuits for the TAD-1027 and the radio  
or TV.  
Consult your local RadioShack store if  
the problem still exists.  
Also, the telephone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this TAD. The telephone  
company notifies you of these changes  
in advance so you can take the neces-  
sary steps to prevent interruption of your  
telephone services.  
LIGHTNING  
Your TAD-1027 has built-in protection  
circuits to reduce the risk of damage  
from surges in telephone line and power  
line current. These protection circuits  
meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the telephone  
or power lines can damage your TAD.  
Your TAD-1027 complies with the limits  
for a Class B digital device as specified in  
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-  
vide reasonable protection against radio  
and TV interference in a residential area.  
However, your TAD might cause TV or  
radio interference even when it is operat-  
ing properly.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-  
ertheless, if you live in an area that has  
severe electrical storms, we suggest that  
you unplug the TAD-1027 during storms  
to reduce the possibility of damage.
