This symbol is intended to alert you

to the presence of uninsulated dan-

gerous voltage within the product’s

enclosure that might be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock. Do not open the

product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform

you that important operating and

maintenance instructions are in-

cluded in the literature accompany-

ing this product.

READ THIS FIRST

We have designed your TAD-277 to

conform to federal regulations, and

you can connect it to most telephone

lines. However, each device you con-

nect 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 bottom of your TAD-

277.

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

fire or shock hazard, do not ex-

pose this product to rain or mois-

ture.

CAUTION !

If you are using more than one device

on the line, add up all the RENs. If the

total is more than five, your phones

might not ring and your TAD-277

might not answer. In rural areas, a to-

tal REN of three might impair ringer

operation. If ringer operation is im-

paired, remove a device from the tele-

phone line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your TAD-277 complies with Part 68

FCC Rules

. You must, upon re-

quest, provide the FCC registration

number and the REN to your phone

company. Both numbers are on the

bottom of your TAD-277.

Note: You must not connect your

TAD-277 to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key phone sys-

tems

PREPARATION

SELECTING A

LOCATION

The TAD-277 is designed to rest on

a flat surface such as a desktop or

countertop. Select a location that is:

• Near an AC outlet

• Near a modular telephone line

jack

If the 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 RadioShack store. Or, you can

let the phone company update the wir-

ing for you. The USOC number of the

jack to be installed is RJ11C.

LOADING THE

CASSETTE

Your TAD-277 comes with an MC-60

cassette tape (30 minutes of recording

time per side). You can buy additional

and different length cassettes at your

local RadioShack store.

1. Turn the supplied cassette’s hub

with the tip of a pencil to take up

any tape slack.

2. Lift open the cassette compart-

ment door.

3. Put the cassette in the compart-

ment with its full reel toward the

back of the system and its open

edge to the right.

4. Close the compartment door.

Notes:

• You can turn the tape over and

record on the other side. This lets

you save any messages recorded

on the first side while using the

tape to record more messages.

• Replace the tape at least once a

year, or more often if it is used fre-

quently.

43-777.fm Page 5 Friday, August 13, 1999 3:44 PM

CONNECTING POWER

Use the supplied AC adapter to power

your TAD-277.

Cautions:

• The supplied Class 2 AC adapter

supplies 9 volts of power, delivers

at least 500 milliamps, and has a

plug that properly fits the TAD-

277’s

9V AC 500mA jack. Using an

adapter that does not meet these

specifications could damage the

TAD-277.

• Always plug the adapter into the

TAD-277 before you plug it into an

AC outlet, and unplug the adapter

from the outlet before you unplug

it from the TAD-277.

1. Plug the supplied AC adapter’s

barrel plug into the TAD-277’s 9V

AC 500mA jack.

2. Plug the adapter’s other end into a

standard AC outlet.

3. Rotate VOLUME to the right until it

clicks to turn on the TAD-277.

The message indicator turns on while

the TAD-277 checks for an outgoing

message.

If an outgoing message is already re-

corded, the TAD-277 automatically

plays it back. If there is no outgoing

message, the TAD-277 sounds a con-

tinuous high tone until you record a

message (see “Recording the Outgo-

ing Message”).

Note: If the cassette tape is broken or

is not inserted properly, the TAD-277

sounds a continuous low tone when it

is connected to power. To stop the

tone, unplug the adapter from the AC

outlet. Reinsert or replace the tape,

then plug the adapter back into the AC

outlet.

RECORDING THE

OUTGOING MESSAGE

Before you can use the TAD-277, you

must record the outgoing message.

The maximum length for your outgo-

ing message is 30 seconds.

Hint: To help protect your home or of-

fice, do not tell callers you are away.

Instead, say you cannot come to the

phone at this time.

Follow these steps to record an outgo-

ing message.

1. If the TAD-277 is off, rotate VOL-

UME to the right until it clicks to

turn it on. The message indicator

turns on.

43-777.fm Page 6 Friday, August 13, 1999 3:44 PM

2. Lift open the cassette compart-

ment door.

3. Hold down OGM REC/PLAY until

the message indicator turns off,

then release the button. The TAD-

277 beeps once.

4. When the message indicator turns

on again after a few moments,

speak clearly in a normal volume

from about 12 inches away from

the microphone.

Note: The TAD-277 records only

the first 30 seconds of your outgo-

ing message.

5. When you finish recording your

message, press OGM REC/PLAY

again. The TAD-277 beeps, re-

winds the tape, and plays back

the message as it is recording it

from the digital chip to the tape.

(The message is backed up on

tape so after a power failure it can

be automatically restored to the

chip).

After the message plays back, the

TAD-277 sets itself to answer

calls, beeping twice to indicate it is

set.

6. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable

listening level.

Checking the Outgoing

Message

Press OGM REC/PLAY at any time to

hear the outgoing message. Set VOL-

UME to the desired level.

Microphone

43-777.fm Page 7 Friday, August 13, 1999 3:44 PM

CONNECTING TO THE

TELEPHONE LINE

To complete the connections, insert

the modular plug into a modular

phone jack.

To connect a telephone to your TAD-

277, insert the telephone’s modular

plug into PHONE JACK on the back of

the TAD-277.

SETTING THE MAXIMUM

MESSAGE LENGTH

Your TAD-277 can record messages

of up to 1 or 5 minutes. Set REC TIME

to 1MIN or 5MIN for the desired maxi-

mum recording time.

SETTING THE NUMBER

OF RINGS

You can select the number of rings the

TAD-277 waits before it answers calls.

Set RING SELECT to 2, 4, 7,or TS.

The system can answer calls in 2, 4,

or 7 rings. If you set the switch to TS

(Toll Saver), the TAD-277 answers in

four rings if there are no new or saved

messages, or in two rings if you have

messages. This can save you long-

distance charges because, if there are

no new messages, you can hang up

before the TAD-277 answers.

43-777.fm Page 8 Friday, August 13, 1999 3:44 PM

ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

SETTING THE TAD-277

TO ANSWER CALLS

Rotate VOLUME to the right until it

clicks to turn on the TAD-277. When

the message indicator stays on and

the TAD-277 does not sound any

tones, it is ready to answer calls.

The TAD-277 hangs up and resets to

answer the next call when:

• The caller hangs up.

• The maximum message length of

about 1 minute or 5 minutes is

reached (see “Setting the Maxi-

mum Message Length” on

Page 8).

• There are more than 7 seconds of

silence.

The TAD-277’s supplied tape can

record up to about 29 minutes of in-

coming messages per side. You can

buy additional and different length cas-

settes at your local RadioShack store.

If the tape reaches the end while a

caller is leaving a message, the TAD-

277 beeps twice and hangs up.

If the incoming message tape is full,

the TAD-277 answers a call after ten

rings, plays back the outgoing mes-

sage, then waits 7 seconds for you to

enter the remote operation security

code. If you do not enter the correct

code, the TAD-277 beeps twice and

hangs up. See “Remote Control Oper-

ation” on Page 11.

To have the TAD-277 not answer

calls, turn it off by rotating VOLUME to

the left until it clicks. The message in-

dicator turns off.

SETTING THE SYSTEM’S

VOLUME

To adjust the volume, set VOLUME to

a comfortable listening level. (This

does not affect the volume of the mes-

sage the caller hears.)

SCREENING CALLS

To screen calls, let the TAD-277 an-

swer them. Listen to the caller’s mes-

sage through the TAD-277’s speaker.

If you decide to answer the call, pick

up any phone on the same phone line

as the TAD-277. The TAD-277 stops

recording and resets to answer the

next call.

43-777.fm Page 9 Friday, August 13, 1999 3:44 PM

Note: If you pick up the phone just as

the TAD-277 answers, the TAD-277

might not stop recording the message.

If this happens, briefly hang up the

phone then pick it up again.

PLAYING MESSAGES

When you have messages, the mes-

sage indicator blinks. If you have four

messages or less, the light blinks once

for each message stored. (For exam-

ple, if you have two messages, the light

blinks twice followed by a 2-second

pause, then blinks twice more, and so

on.) If you have more than four mes-

sages, the light blinks continuously.

Note: The light also blinks continuous-

ly if the TAD-277 receives one or more

incoming messages after power is in-

terrupted (see “Troubleshooting” on

Page 13).

To play the messages, press PLAY.

The TAD-277 beeps once, rewinds

the tape, then plays the messages.

Notes:

• To pause playback, press PLAY.

To restart playback, press PLAY

again.

If you do not restart playback

within 60 seconds, the tape fast-

forwards to the end of the last

incoming message, as though

playback was never started. This

helps prevent accidental erasure

of incoming messages.

• If a call comes in while playback is

paused, the tape immediately

fast-forwards to the end of the last

message and answers the call.

After you play back all the messages,

the TAD-277 beeps twice, rewinds to

the beginning, and resets to answer

calls. New messages will be recorded

over the messages you have heard.

To save the messages, press SAVE

before a new call is recorded. The

tape fast-forwards to the end of all the

messages and resets to answer calls.

To replay the messages, simply press

PLAY again.
