FEATURES
Your RadioShack Caller ID System 310 is the latest in telephone caller identification technology. If Caller ID service is
available in your area and you subscribe to it, the telephone
company sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if
available in your area) and the time of the call between the first
and second rings. The module displays this information during
an incoming call to help you identify the caller before answering
so you can avoid unwanted calls. The module stores and displays up to 99 single Call er ID records (number only) or 50 multiple Caller I D records (name and number).
Your module inclu des these features:
Large Liquid Crystal Display
— shows three full lines of caller
informati on to make it easy to see who is calling.

FCC INFORMATION
Your module has been designed to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each module (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 module’s
ringer equivalence number or REN. The REN is shown on the
bottom of the module.
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, your telephones might not rin g. I n rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringe r operation. If r inger operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
Your module complies with Part 68 of
upon request, provide the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) registration number and the REN to your telephone
company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of your module.

• 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 c om pany normally attempt s 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.
The telephone company can also make changes to its lines,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this module. The telephone company normally notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

If your module is not performing as it should, check the connection to the telephone line. Calls are automatically switched and
routed through complex equipment, so you might occasionally
hear noise on the line. When a call i s too noisy, hang up and r edial the number. If you still have problems, immediately disconnect the module. I f a telephone on the sa me line works properl y,
the fault is in the module or its installation. If you are unable to
locate the problem, take your module to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
