INSTALLATION
We have designed your CID-927 to conform to federal r egulation s, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However, each telephone ( and each device,
such as an answering machine) that you
connect to the telephone line draws
power from the teleph one line. We refer
to this power draw as the device’s ringer
equivalence num ber, or REN. The REN
is on the bottom of your telephone.
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the l ine, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more th an five, y our
telephones might not ring. In rural areas,
a total REN of three m ight impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove one of the devices from the line.

The CID-927 also complies with the limits for a Class B d evice as specified in
Part 15 of
FCC Rules
. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interfere nce in a residential
area. However, your telephone 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 ’s receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
telephone and the radio and TV.
Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.
