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.

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.
