FEATURES
Your RadioShack System 1250 Caller
ID Telephone combines a telephone
and a Caller ID unit in one system. It
shows the caller’s telephone number
(and name, if available in your area) and
the current date and time, as provided
by your local phone company to Caller
ID service subscribers. (The date and
time are updated with each incoming
call). It saves up to 60 Caller ID records
that you can review and call back.
And, if you have Call Waiting with Ca ller

you are already on the phone.

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line.
We refer to this power draw as the

of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs.
If the total is more than five, your phones
might not ring. In rural areas, a total

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack System 1250 Caller ID Telephone is an example of superior design
and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your System 1250
so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the System 1250 d ry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry imm ediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the System 1250 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can s horten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the System 1250 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the System 1250 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases an d can ca use the Sys tem 1250 to wo rk improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the requ ired size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your System 1250’s electronic parts.
Wipe the System 1250 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use h arsh chemicals, cleaning sol vents, or strong detergents to clean the System 1250.
Modifying or tampering with the System 1250’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your System 1250’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your System 1250 is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistanc e. If the trouble is affecting the telephone li nes,
the phone compan y can a sk you t o disconnec t your System 1250 until y ou have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your telephone
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company can d isconnect
your service. The telephone company
normally attempts to notify you in advance. If advance not ice is not practical,
the telephone company notifies you as
soon as possible and advises you of
your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equi pment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone lines can
damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an a rea that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your telephone during
storms to reduce the possib ility of damage.
