FEATURES
Your Radio Shack TAD-1010 900 MHz
Digital Cordless Telephone with Digital
Multi-User Answering System uses ad-
vanced analog cordless telephone
technology to give you superior audio
quality. It uses the recently allocated
900 MHz band which has less interfer-
ence and clearer sound and greater
range than 46/49 MHz cordless tele-
phones. Its cordless operation lets you
move freely about your home or office.
Cordless Telephone Features
900 MHz Operation — provides lower
interference than 46/49 MHz phones.
Digitally Encoded Signal — prevents
other people from picking up your
phone’s signal (on scanners, for exam-
ple) and listening to your conversations.
10 Channels — scans 10 channels
(frequency pairs used between the
base and the handset) and selects a
clear one each time you make or re-
ceive a call. You can also manually
change channels during a call.
The Telephone Answering Device
(TAD) stores all messages on a com-
puter chip. This gives you advanced ca-
pabilities over tape-based answering
machines. For example, you can save
individual messages while the rest are
erased. Because your TAD is fully digi-
tal, there are no tape mechanisms to
wear out and no tapes to bother with.
Security Access-Protection Code —
changes each time you place the hand-
set on the base, to minimize the chanc-
es of other cordless phones using your
phone line.
The TAD can record messages for four
users with individual date/time stamps
for each message. The TAD’s 30-
minute memory capacity means you
can store a lot of messages!
Out of Range Signal — the handset
beeps to let you know when it is out of
the base’s operating range.
Paging System — lets you send a sig-
nal from the base to the handset so you
can page someone or easily locate the
handset when it is away from the base.
Its remote operation features let you ac-
cess your TAD remotely from a touch-
tone phone. The TAD guides you
through system operation with voice
prompts.
10-Number Memory Dialing — lets
you store up to 10 phone numbers in
memory for easy dialing.
Privacy — prevents the person on the
other end of the phone line from hear-
ing your conversation with someone in
the room.

43-771.fm Page 4 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:59 PM
Flash — sends an electronic switch-
hook signal for use with special phone
services such as call waiting.
Digital Volume Control — lets you ad-
just the playback volume of the record-
ings on the TAD.
Redial — lets you quickly dial the last
number dialed.
Announcement Only — lets you
record an announcement for callers to
hear, without recording their messag-
es.
Hold — lets you place a call on hold.
Programmable Ringer — lets you se-
lect from four ringer types and turn the
ringer on or off.
LCD Message Counter — shows the
number of messages the TAD has re-
corded.
Touch-Tone (DTMF) or Pulse Dialing
— lets you use your phone with either
type of dialing.
Remote Operation — lets you use a
touch-tone phone (or rotary phone and
pocket tone dialer) to operate the TAD
while you are away from your home or
office.
Handset Volume Control — lets you
adjust the volume of the sound you hear
through the handset.
Programmable Remote Operation
Security Code — lets you set a securi-
ty code for remote operation.
Hearing Aid Compatible — lets you
use this telephone with hearing aids that
have a T (telephone) switch.
Remote Answer-On — lets you call
the TAD from a remote location and set
it to answer calls.
TAD Features
Call Screening — lets you listen as a
caller leaves a message so you can
decide whether or not to answer the
call.
Four User Mailboxes — let you store
and play back messages for up to four
different users. The generic mailbox
stores and plays back messages for all
users.
Memo Recording — lets you leave
messages for yourself or others in your
home or office.
Date/Time Stamp — records the day
and time each message was recorded.
Adjustable Ring Number — lets you
set the TAD to answer after two or four
rings.
Digitally-Synthesized Voice — guides
you through operation of the system.

43-771.fm Page 5 Friday, August 13, 1999 2:59 PM
Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unneces-
sary long-distance charges when you
call by long distance to check your mes-
sages.
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using your
TAD-1010. For this reason, the TAD-
1010 should not be your only telephone.
To be safe, you should also have a
phone that does not require AC power to
operate (not a cordless phone) so you
can still make and receive calls if there
is an AC power failure.
Phone Pick-Up Detection — stops re-
cording when you pick up any phone on
the same line as the TAD, and resets to
answer the next call.
This TAD has been tested and found to
comply with all applicable UL and FCC
standards.
For your records, we recommend you
record the TAD’s serial number here.
The number is on the base’s label.

INSTALLATION
2. Snap the battery’s contacts firmly
to the battery connector, then place
the battery into the compartment.
INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
If the AC power fails or you unplug the
TAD-1010, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages and the
settings for the day, time, and security
code. We recommend you use an alka-
line battery, such as Radio Shack Cat.
No. 23-553.
Follow these steps to install the backup
battery.
3. Replace the cover.
Cautions:
• Before you replace the battery, be
sure the supplied adapter is
securely connected to an AC outlet
and to the jack on the back of the
TAD. Otherwise, you might lose any
stored information.
• Always use a fresh battery of the
required size and type.
Note: If
flashes after installing a
fresh backup battery, unplug the AC
adapter from the AC outlet (if connect-
ed), then reconnect it.
• Dispose of the battery promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn it.
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover on the bottom of the base by
sliding the cover in the direction of
the arrow.

SELECTING A LOCATION
PLACING THE BASE ON A
DESKTOP
You can set the TAD-1010’s base on a
flat surface (such as a desktop or coun-
tertop), or mount it on a wall plate or di-
rectly on the wall. The base’s location
affects the phone’s range. If you have a
choice of several locations, try each to
see which one provides the best perfor-
mance.

TELEPHONE PREPARATION
INSTALLING THE
HANDSET BATTERY
PACK
To install the supplied rechargeable
battery pack, place it on the battery
compartment tracks, then slide it up (to-
ward the antenna) until it locks in place.
Note: The phone uses a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the
end of the battery pack’s useful life, it
must be recycled or disposed of proper-
ly. Contact your local, county, or state
hazardous waste management authori-
ties for information on recycling or dis-
posal programs in your area. Some
options that might be available are: mu-
nicipal curbside collection, drop-off box-
es at retailers, recycling collection
centers, and mailback programs.
Note: You must charge a new battery
pack at least 24 hours before you use it
the first time. See “Charging the Hand-
set Battery Pack” on Page 14.
When the handset’s battery pack no
longer recharges, replace the battery
pack. You can order a replacement bat-
tery pack from your local Radio Shack
store.
To remove the battery pack, press the
tab on the back of the handset, slide the
battery pack down (away from the an-
tenna) until it stops, then lift it up to re-
move it.

You must charge the battery pack at
least 24 hours before you use the TAD-
1010 the first time or when you replace
the battery pack. To charge or recharge
the battery pack, simply place the hand-
set on the cradle. The CHARGE indica-
tor lights.
You can recharge the battery pack at

Storing a Pause in Memory
Chain Dialing Service
Numbers
In some telephone systems, you must
dial an access code (9, for example)
and wait for a second dial tone before
you can dial an outside number. You
can store the access code with the
phone number. However, you must
also store a pause after the access
code.
You can make a call using more than
one of the TAD-1010’s memory loca-
tions. This is called chain dialing. Chain
dialing is useful for dialing special ser-
vices such as alternate long distance or
bank-by-phone.
When calling special services, dial the
service’s main number first. Then, at the
appropriate place in the call, press MEM
and the number for the memory location
where the additional information is
stored.
To insert a pause in a number you store
in memory, press HOLD at the appropri-
ate point. This inserts a 11/2-second
pause. For longer pauses, press HOLD
two or more times.
Dialing a Stored Number
1. Press TALK to get a dial tone.
2. Press MEM and the number key for
the memory location (0-9).

Recording an Announcement
You can record a personal message for
the caller to hear when the TAD an-
swers a call.
If you decide not to record your own
message, Announcement 2 plays
the pre-programmed outgoing mes-
sage.
Important Hints:
• OGM (Outgoing Message) is pre-
programmed, and the caller is not
able to leave a message.
• The outgoing message must be at
least 2 seconds long for proper
remote operation.
The OGM announcement says “No
one can answer the phone at the
moment. Please call again.”
• Your recorded announcements can
be up to 2 minutes long, but more
than 5 seconds of silence automat-
ically stops recording.
Note: If Announcement
1
is
selected and the memory is full, the
TAD plays the pre-programmed
OGM.
• We recommend you write down
your announcement before record-
ing it. If you plan to record callers’
messages, ask for the caller’s
name, phone number, and mes-
sage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack TAD-1010 900-MHz Digital Cordless Telephone with Digital
Multi-User Answering System is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for your TAD-1010 so you can enjoy it
for years.
Keep the TAD-1010 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the TAD-1010 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-1010 to work im-
properly.
Use and store the TAD-1010 only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devic-
es and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the TAD-1010 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Wipe the TAD-1010 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the TAD-1010.
Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1010’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your TAD-1010 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone
company can ask you to disconnect the phone until you have resolved the problem.

Try to eliminate the interference by:
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. The phone company
normally attempts to notify you in ad-
vance. 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.
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Radio Shack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The phone
company normally notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-1010 has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requirements. Howev-
er, lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your phone.
Your phone might cause TV or radio in-
terference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
phone is causing the interference, turn
off and unplug your phone and discon-
nect the handset battery. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your phone is causing
the interference.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
