FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your System 240 to conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each 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 to this power draw as the
device’s
the bottom of the module.
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 mi ght 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.

Note: You must not connect the module to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-li ne systems
• Most electroni c key telephone systems
In the unlikely event that your module causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company can disconnect your service. The telephone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice 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, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this module. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telep hone service.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
The System 240 is powered by three AAA batteries. For the longest operation,
we recommend you use alkal ine bat teri es (Ra dio Shack Cat . No . 23-5 55). F ollow
these steps to install the batteries.
Note:
If you are replacing th e batteries, unplug t he mo dule from the phone line.
1. Press down and slide off the battery compartment cover in the direction of
the arrow.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment, following the correct polarity (+
and –) as marked inside the compartment. The call indicator on the front of
the module lights and a test screen
appears. The indicator turns off when
the total memory capacity appears
briefly. Then the screen goes blank.
3. Replace the cover.

When the battery low indicator ( ) appears in the top left corner of the display or the display dims, replace the batteries.
Cautions:
• Once you remove the batteries from the Caller ID module, you have 7 seconds to instal l new bat teries without losing saved information.
• Do not press any buttons after you remove the batteries. Doing so can delete the information stored in the module.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batter ies of different capacities.
