FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your System 360 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 to this
power draw as the system’s
REN. The REN is shown 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 device from the line.

Your system com plies with Part 68 of

telephone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of the system.

Note: You must not connect your System 360 to:
• Coin-operated sys tems
• Party-line sy stems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
In the un likel y event tha t your S ystem 360 cau ses pr oblems
on the pho ne line, the phone company can tempo rarily disconnec t your service. I f this happens, the phone com pany attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not
practi cal, the p hone com pany no tifies y ou as soon as pos sible 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 affect the
operation of this 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 limit s for a Class B device as
specifie d in Part 15 of
FCC Rules
. Thes e limits provide reasona ble protection against radio and TV interfer ence in a residential a rea. H owever, yo ur Sys tem 360 might c ause TV or
radio interference even when it is operating properly.
To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following:
• Reorient or relocate the radio or TV receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the System 360 and the
radio or TV
• Use outlets on di fferent electrical circuits for the System
360 and the radio or TV

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 and updates the display with the current date and
time. The display als o shows if caller informati on is not avai lable or if the number is blocked by the sender (see “Displayed Call Information” on Page 26).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack System 360 Caller ID with Callback is an
example of superior design and cr aftsmanshi p. The following
suggestions will help you care f or your syst em so you can enjoy it fo r y ea rs.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Liquids might contain minerals
that can corrode the electronic circui ts.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries , and di stort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the syste m away f rom dust and dirt , whic h
can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases
and can cause the system to work improperly.
35
43-980 .fm Page 36 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:44 PM
Use only fresh batteries of the required si ze and
type. Batteries can leak chemical s that damage
your system’s e lectronic parts.
Wipe the system wi t h a damp cl oth occasi onally
to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol vents, or strong detergents to
clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal components can cause a malfunct ion and might invali date your system’s warra nty and voi d your FCC aut horiz ation to oper ate i t.
If your system is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioSh ack stor e for assi stanc e. If t he troubl e is af fecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to
disconnect yo ur sys tem unti l you have res ol ved the probl em.
36
43-980 .fm Page 37 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:44 PM
LIGHTNING
Your system has built-in protection circui ts to reduce t he risk
of damage from surges in telephone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live
in an area that has se vere electrical st orm s, we suggest that
you unplug the telephone system during storms to reduce
the possibility of damage.
