INSTALLING BACKUP
BATTERIES
The TAD-1029 requires AC power to op-
erate. However, if AC power fails or you
unplug the TAD-1029, four AAA backup
batteries (not supplied) save the mes-
sages, day and time settings, and re-
mote operation security code for up to
12 hours. We recommend you use alka-
line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-555.
Cautions
:
• Use only fresh batteries of the re-
quired size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
• To avoid losing information stored in
memory, do not unplug the AC
adapter when you replace the back-
up batteries.
Follow these steps to install backup bat-
teries.
1. Press in the tab on the battery com-
partment cover on the top of the
base and lift off the cover.
2. Put the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace the batteries when the BATT
LOW indicator flashes.
Cautions:
• Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
