have the telephone company update your telephone wiring
for you.

OPERATION
RECEIVING INCOMING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company.
When Caller ID is activated, 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 Caller ID System 60 receives and displays t his information for each call and updates the display with the current
date and time. The display also i ndicates if caller information
is not available or if the number is blocked by the sender
(see “Display Mess ages” on Page 18).
If the system has received a call since the last time call
records were reviewed, the NEW CALL indicator flashes
and the call information appears.
15
43-968 .fm Page 16 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM
Notes:
• If you connect a telephone answering machine to the
same line as the Caller ID System 60, you must set the
answering machine to answer in two or more rings in
order to receive the Caller ID information.
• When the system’s memory is full, it automatically
deletes the oldest call record as a new call comes in.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Caller ID System 60 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions
will help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for
years.
• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode
the electron ic circuits.
• Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause it to
work improperly.
• Use and store the system only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the
life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic
parts.
• Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
• Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it lo oking new. Do not use hars h chemicals, cle aning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the system.
24
43-968 .fm Page 25 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM
Modifying or tampering with the Caller ID System 60’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your system’s warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. If your Caller ID System 60 is not
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone
lines, the phone company might ask you to disconnect your
system until you resolve the problem.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on
the telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect
your service. The telephone company attempt s to noti fy 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 system. The telephone company notifies
25
43-968 .fm Page 26 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM
you of these changes in advance so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
Your system com plies with t he limits for a Class B digita l device as specified in Part 15 of
FCC Rules
. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV
interference in a residential area. However, your system
might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving radi o or TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the system and the
radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the system
and the radio or TV.
Consult your local telephone company or RadioShack store
if the problem con ti nues.
26
43-968 .fm Page 27 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM
LIGHTNING
Your System 60 has built-in protection circuits to reduce the
risk of damage from surges in t elephone and power li ne 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 severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your system during the storms to reduce the
possibility of damage.
