FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your System 200 to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each Caller ID
system (and each device, such as a telephone or
answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer t o
this power draw as the system’s
lence number
on the bottom of the system.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five, your telephone might not
ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a devi ce from the line.
8
or REN. The REN is on the label
ringer equiva-
43-985 .fm Page 9 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Your system com plies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
You must, upon request, provide the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) registration
number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers are on the label on the bottom of the system.
Note: You must not connect your System 200 to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-li ne systems
• Most electroni c key telephone system s
In the unlikely even t th at your Syst em 200 cause s
problems on the phone line, the phone company
can temporarily disconnect your service. If this
happens, the phone company attempts to notify
.
9
43-985 .fm Page 10 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
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 af fect the operation of t his system. The
phone company notifies you of these changes in
advance, so you can take the necessary steps to
prevent interruption of your telephone service.
This system complies with the limits for a Class B
digital device as specified in Part 15 of
Rules
. These limi ts provide reaso nable protectio n
FCC
against radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your System 200 might cause TV
or radio interference even when it is operating
10
43-985 .fm Page 11 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
properly. To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more o f t he following corrective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving r adio or TV
antenna
• Increase the distance between the System
200 and the radio or TV
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for
the System 200 and the radi o or TV
Contact your local telephone company or RadioShack store if the problem continues .

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES/
SETUP
You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to
power the system. For the longest operation and
best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558.
Cautions
:
• Always use fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacit ies.
13
43-985 .fm Page 14 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Follow these steps to install batteries and program the system.
Note: When replacing the batteries, if you do not
install the new ones within 1 minute, the system’s
date and time will be lost (the Caller ID information, however, stays stored in the system’s memory).
1. If you are replacing the batteries, unplug
both modular line cords from the back of the
system.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery compartment screw on the bottom of the
system, then slide the cover off in the direction of the arrow on the cover’s door.
14

the system displays

Note: The telephone company sends the
correc t time w ith each incomin g call , so the
correct date and time are automatically set
when the system receives its first call.
9. Replace the battery cover and the screw. If
you are replacing the batteries, reconnect
the phone line and the phone.
To reset the language, remove the batteries and
reinstal l them.

43-985 .fm Page 19 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
When flashes in the upper right corner of the
display or t he display dims, replace the batter ies.
Cautions:
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batt er-
ies can leak chemicals that can damag e your
system.
• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and
properly; do not bury or burn them.

4. Set your answering machine to answer after
two or more rings. This giv es the System 200
time to record call information that the phone
company sends between the first and second rings.
Note: Some answering machines block Caller ID
information from the System 200. If this happens,
you might have to disconnect the answering machine.
MOUNTING THE SYSTEM
You can place the System 200 directly on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall using the supplied mounting bracket and screws.
23
43-985 .fm Page 24 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Follow these steps to mount the system on a
wall.
1. Select a location near the phone line jack.
Then, using the round holes in the mounting
bracket as a template, mark the mounting
screw locati ons on the wall.
2. Drill two
1
/8-inch holes in the wall at the
marked locations.
Note: If needed for extra support, wall an-
chors are also supplied.
3. While holding the bracket against the wall,
thread a screw t hrough each hole, then t ighten the screws.

OPERATION
RECEIVING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone
company. When you subscribe to this service,
the telephone company sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the
call’s date and time between the first and second
rings. The system receives and displays this information for each call (see “Displayed Call Information” on Page 31) and updates the display with
the current date and time.
If the system has received a call since the last
time call records were reviewed, the NEW CALL
indicator flashes,
play, and the call information appears. After 20
seconds, the system returns to the date and time
display.

Note: If you have a phone that has a hold fea-

long. The Caller ID information sent by the phone
company might disconnect a caller on hold if a
new call comes in.
28
43-985 .fm Page 29 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, your system saves
a call record in memory that you can review later,
even while you are on the phone. Your system
saves up to 64 call records, then (for subsequent
calls) it replaces the oldest call record with each
new one.
A stored call record includes:
• Call number (order the call is received)
• Time and date of the call
• Caller’s telephone number (if available)
• Caller’s name (if available)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack System 200 64-Memory Caller
ID with Message Waiting is an exa mp le of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help y ou care for your system so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in
normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt
plastic parts.
38
43-985 .fm Page 39 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Keep the syst em a way from d ust an d
dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and case s and can caus e th e
system to work improper ly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your
system’s electronic parts.
39
43-985 .fm Page 40 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Wipe the system with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate your system’s warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your system is
not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is
affectin g the telephone lines, the phone company
can ask you to disconnect your system until you
have resolved the problem.
40
43-985 .fm Page 41 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
LIGHTNING
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage fro m surges in telep hone
and power line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the tele phone or power lines can
damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless,
if you live in an area that has severe electrical
storms, we suggest that you unplug the telephone system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
