Jumbo Display with Photo Sensor — makes it easy to see caller information and the current date and time. The system’s photo sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness according to the ambient light.

Total Call Count — lets you know how many calls are stored in memory.

Line Status Indicator — alerts you when you have an incoming call and the status of a parallel phone in use.

Mounting Options — you can place the system on a desk, shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.

FCC STATEMENT

We have designed your caller ID system to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device (such as a telephone, caller ID, or answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your caller ID.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the system.

Note: You must not connect your system to:

coin-operated systems

party-line systems

most electronic key telephone systems

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporally disconnect your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. 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.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this system. The telephone company notifies you of these change in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.

However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:

Reorient or relocate the TV or radio’s receiving antenna.

Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.

Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

USING AC POWER

To power the system, plug the supplied adapter’s barrel plug into the 9V DC jack on the back of the system. Connect the other end of the adapter to a standard AC outlet.

After you power up the system, all indicators light for about 3 seconds, then the caller ID returns to standby.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies

!9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip

must be set to positive and its plug must fit the caller ID’s 9V DC jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the caller ID or the adapter.

Always connect the AC adapter to the caller ID before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the caller ID.
