IMPORTANT

To use this Caller ID box, you must be in an area where Caller ID service is available, and you must subscribe to the service.

Ô NOTE Ô

• The backlight does not work if the AC adapter is disconnected.

• The USOC number for both the single-line and two-line jacks to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, be sure that installing the Caller ID box does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Ô BATTERY NOTES Ô

• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly.

• Do not burn or bury batteries.

• Use only 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 capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the Caller I D box for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

• When replacing batteries, do not press any buttons on the Caller ID box after you remove the old batteries. Doing so could erase all stored information.

• When replacing the batteries, have fresh ones on hand before you begin. If you do not install the new batteries within about 2 minutes after removing the old ones, you will lose all the information stored in the Caller ID box.

CALLER ID BOX SETUP

Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. Whe n you subscri be to this service, between the first and second rings, the telephone company sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date and time. The Caller ID box receives and displays this information for each call and updates th e di splay with the curre nt date and time. Your Caller ID box saves up to 64 Caller ID records, then replaces the oldest Caller ID record with each new one.
