Features
Your RadioShack Wireless Caller ID System lets you screen
your phone calls, so you can decide whether or not to answer.
When you are up to 100 feet (30.48 meters) away from the
phone and you receive a call, the system’s tran smitter instantly
sends the caller’s name and phone number (as provided by
your local telephone company to Caller ID service subscribers)
to its receiver.
Note:
In some cases, the local environment might affect the
transmission (for example, aluminum siding, electrical applianc-
es, computer equipment, and so on).
The system’s other features include:
Caller ID Memory
— stores up to 60 Caller ID records, so you
always know who called and when they called.
Out of Area Indication
— lets you know when an incoming call
is from an area code that does not send Caller ID information.
Support for Unlimited Receivers
— lets you add as many re-
ceivers as you need, anywhere within 100 feet of the transmit-
ter.
3-Line Liquid Crystal Display
— lets you see at a glance
whether you have a new call, along with the total number of
calls, the last caller’s name (if available) and phone number,
and the current time and date.
Page Button
— lets you verify that the receiver is within operat-
ing range of the transmitter.

Features
Rubber Duck Antenna
— rotates for the best reception in any
location.
Call Waiting Compatibility
— displays the Caller ID on Call
Waiting information when you use a Caller ID on Call Waiting-
equipped telephone or if your telephone is connected to a Caller
ID on a Call Waiting-equipped device.
Note:
When you have Call Waiting, the receiver displays the
caller’s name and number first, then
CALL
WAITING
appears,
and the two appear interchangeably afterwards.
Your system is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all appli-
cable FCC standards.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To use this system, you must be in an area where Caller ID ser-
vice is available, and you must subscribe to the service.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options
are generally available:
• caller’s number only
• caller’s name only
• caller’s name and number
Note:
Your system displays the caller’s name only if that option
is available in your area.

Features
FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your system to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each system (and each device, such as a telephone or answer-
ing machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws pow-
er 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 the system.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line,
add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephone might not ring. If ringer operation is im-
paired, 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 bot-
tom of the system.
Note:
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
