FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your system to conform to federal regu lations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. Ho wever, e ach sys­tem (and each device, such as a tel ephone or answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the tele­phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equiv­alence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the system.
If you use more than one telephone or other devic e on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your telephone might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
Your system complies with Part 68 of request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to you r telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the system.
Note:
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
In the unlikely event that your system cause problem s on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily disconnect y our service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible 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 o peration of th is sys­tem. The telephone company notifies yo u of these changes in ad­vance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must a ccept any interfer­ence received, including interference that may cause un desired op­eration.
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of able protection against radio and TV interferenc e in a residential ar­ea. However, your equipment 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 TV or radio’s receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your ser­vice. If this happens, the telephone company attempts t o notify you as soon as possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equip­ment, operation, or procedures that could af fect the opera tion of the system. The telephone company notifies you of these cha nges in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup­tion of your telephone service.
Lightning
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of dam­age from surges in phone line or power line current. These protec­tion circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line can damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug your sys­tem when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your CID requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power and to protect its memory in the event of a power fail ure. For the best per­formance and longest life, we recommend RadioShac k alkaline bat­teries.
3. Reconnect the modular line cords.
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Your system connects to any modular phon e jack and phone. You can also connect it to an answering machine. Your system is de­signed to be connected to the telephone network using a compatible modular jack that is compliant with Part 68 of
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (for both tele­phone line jacks).

Connecting to a Two-Line Phone
To record information about calls received on a two-line phone, you can connect two systems using a triplex adapter (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store. Eac h system only rec ords information about calls received on the line to which it is connected.

Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batterie s (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batterie s of different capacities.
• When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons on the system until you have installed fresh batteri es. 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 i nfor­mation stored in the system.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw in the battery compartment cover.
2. Press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.
3. Put four fresh AAA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
4. Close the cover and secure it with the screw.
Warning:

2. Plug the triplex adapter into the modular phone jack.
3. Plug one end of the supplied line cord in to the one of the systems.
4. Plug the other end of the cord into either L 1 or L2 on the trip lex adapter.

2. Gently push the bracket up into the system to secure it.
To remove the bracket from the system, press up from the bottom of the system until the bracket snaps off.

RECEIVING AND STORING 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 sys tem receives and displays this information for each call a nd updates the display with the current date and time. Your system saves up to 79 call records, then replaces the oldest call record with each new one. Re­peat calls are stored separately, instead of all on the same record.
During an incoming call, the red new call indicator fl ashes quickly while the phone is ringing, then the number of new and total calls ap­pear. The indicator flashes slowly until all calls are reviewed.
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in mem­ory that you can see while you are on the phone, or review later. Each call record includes the time and date of the call, th e call num ­ber (order in which the call is received), the caller’s telephone num ­ber, and the caller’s name (if available).
