INSTALLATION
SELECTING A
LOCATION
You can set the TAD-285 on a flat sur-
face (such as a desktop or counter-
top), or mount it on a wall plate or
directly on the wall.
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 answering system comes with an
MC-60 cassette tape (30 minutes of
recording time per side). You can buy
additional and different length cas-
settes 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
front of the answering system and
its open edge to the left.
4. Close the compartment door.
Note: Replace the tape at least once
a year, or more often if it is used fre-
quently.
