number.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your system to conform to
federal re gulation s and yo u can con nect it t o
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power draw
as the system’s ringer equivalence number,
or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of
your system.
If you use more than one system or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your telephone might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your system complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and REN to your
telephone company. These numbers are on
the bottom of the system.
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
FCC
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unl ik el y ev en t t h at y ou r s ys te m ca us es
problems on the telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect your service.
The telephone company normally attempts to
notify you in advance . If advanc e notic e 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 telephone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING

reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line current. These protection circuits meet o r exceed th e FCC requi rements.
However, lightning striking the telephone
lines can damage your telephone and the
system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your telephone and the system when storms
approach to reduce the pos sibil ity of d amage.
Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answering System with 99/99 CID Memory is a combination high-quality fully-digital answering
system and Caller ID. The system prevents
you from missing incom ing call s and m essa ges. Fully digital means the system stores all
messages on a computer chip. This gives
you capabilities that tape-based answering
machine do not have. There is no tape mec hanism to wear out and no tapes to bother
with. Also, you can li sten quickly from message to message without listening to all of
them.
The system displays the caller’s telephone
number (and name, if available in your area)
and the current date and time, as provided by
your local phone company to Caller ID service subscribers. It saves up to 99 Caller ID
records that you can review and call back.
