INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY

Notes:

• If the AC power fails or you unplug

the TAD, a 9V backup battery (not
supplied) saves the messages, time
and day settings, and CBT and
remote operation security codes.
For the best performance and long-
est life, we recommend you use a
RadioShack alkaline battery.

• If the AC power fails or you unplug

the TAD, the TAD can receive Caller
ID records. However, the TAD can-
not operate on backup battery
power alone.

Caution: Always use a fresh battery of
the required size and recommend type.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the screw on the battery compart-
ment cover, then remove the cover.

2. Snap the battery's contacts firmly to

the battery connector and place the
battery in the compartment.

3. Replace the cover and secure it with

the screw.

Replace the battery when

ap-

pears.

Warning: Dispose of the old battery
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury it.

Cautions:

• Before you replace the battery, be

sure the TAD is properly connected
to AC power. Otherwise, you might
lose any stored information.

• Disconnect the telephone line cord

before replacing the battery to
reduce the risk of fire or injury. Use
only a 9 Volt alkaline or super heavy
duty battery.

• Always remove old an or weak bat-

tery. A battery can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
