Important
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
Important Information

• 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.
6
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.

INSTALLING BATTERIES/
SETUP
You need three AAA batteries (not supplied) to power your Caller ID (CID). For
the longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries,
available at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-
ferent types of batteries (alkaline,
standard, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift and
remove the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert three fresh AAA batteries into
the compartment as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.

from your phone company, the phone
company sends the caller’s phone number (and name, if available) and the call’s
time and date between the first and second rings. Your CID receives and displays
this information for each call and updates
the current date and time. You cannot
manually set the date and time.

REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, your CID
stores a record that you can see while you
are on the phone, or review later. Your
CID saves up to 50 call records, replacing
the oldest call record with a new call
record.
Each call record includes the call number
(order in which the call is received), the
time and date of the call, the caller’s
phone number (if available), and the caller’s name (if available).
To review the call records, repeatedly

Troubleshooting
CARE
Keep the CID dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the CID only
in normal temperature environments.
Handle the CID carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the CID away from dust and dirt,
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally
to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the CID’s
internal components can cause a
malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If
your CID 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 can
ask you to disconnect your CID until you
have resolved the problem.
