Information

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

• Where Caller ID is offered, one or
more of the following options are gen­erally available:

– caller’s number only
– caller’s name only
– caller’s name and number
Your CID displays the caller’s name

only if that option is available in your
area.

• The actual number of Caller ID
records your CID will store depends
on the amount of Caller ID informa­tion sent by the phone company.

Your CID is ETL listed to UL standards
and meets all applicable FCC require­ments.

Important Information

FCC INFORMATION

We have designed your CID to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it
to most telephone lines. However, each
CID (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 device’s

ber,

or REN. The REN is on the bottom of

your CID.
If you use more than one phone or other

device on the line, add up all the RENs. If
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your phones might not ring. If ring­er operation is impaired, remove a device
from the line.

Your CID complies with Part 68 of the

FCC Rules

vide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your phone company. Both num­bers are on the bottom of the CID.

You must not connect your CID to:

ringer equivalence num-

. You must, upon request, pro-

• coin-operated systems

• party-line systems

• most electronic key telephone sys­tems

In the unlikely event that your CID causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
company can temporarily disconnect your
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
operation of this CID. The phone company
notifies you of these changes in advance,
so you can take the necessary steps to
prevent interruption of your phone service.

This CID complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in Part
15 of the

FCC Rules

. These limits provide
reasonable protection against radio and
TV interference in a residential area. How­ever, your equipment might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is operat­ing properly.

Important Information

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
CID 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.

LIGHTNING

Your CID has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the 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 CID.

Lightning damage is not common. Never­theless, if you live in an area that has se­vere electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your CID when storms
approach t o reduce th e possibi lity of dam­age.
