CID-944 Caller ID with Call Waiting ID
!
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack Caller ID (CID) with Call Waiting ID displays the
caller's telephone number (and name, if available in your area) and
the current date and time, as provided by your local phone company
to Caller ID service subscriber. (The date and time are set with your
first incoming Caller ID call.)
Your Caller ID stores and displays up to 64 single (number only) or
multiple (name and number) Caller ID records. It uses the latest integrated circuit recording technology, so your stored Caller ID re cords
are protected if AC power fails.
The CID's other features include:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To use this CID, you must be in an area where Caller ID servic e 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.
FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your CID to conform to federal regulations, a nd
you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each CID (and
each device, such as a telephone or answering machi ne) that you
connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number or REN.
The REN is on the bottom of the Caller ID.
If you use more than one telephone or other device 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 CID complies with Part 68 of
quest, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the CID.

You must not connect your CID to:
Note:
• 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 telephone service.
ˆ
Preparation
This CID complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of
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. 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.
Contact your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.

CONNECTING THE CID
The CID connects to any modular phone jack and your phone. You
can also connect it to an answering machine.
Connecting to a Single-Line Phone
1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the phone and plug it
into the CID's
2. Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the CID's
jack.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into the phone's jack.

Connecting to an Answering Machine
1. Disconnect the phone line cord that connects your answering
machine to the phone line from the answering machine's jack.
Then plug it into the CID's
2. Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the CID's
jack.
3. Plug the cord's other end into the answering machine's jack.
4. Set your answering machine to answer after two or more rings.

CONNECTING POWER AND SETTING UP
THE CID
To power the CID, you must connect it to AC power using the supplied AC adapter. The CID will then prompt you to set the display
language and your local area code.
You can use the CID without setting the area code, but you will not
be able to use the callback feature (see “Using Callback” on
Page 4).
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its center tip
!
must be set to negative and its plug must fit the CID's
DC 9V 200mA
tions. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the CID or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the CID before you connect it
to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC
power before you disconnect it from the CID.
1. Plug the supplied AC adapter's barrel plug into the
jack on the back of the CID.
2. Route the adapter's cord through the strain relief on the bottom
of the CID.
3. Connect the other end of the adapter to a standard AC outlet.

VIP CALL LIST
The CID lets you save up to 55 call records in its VIP call list. Then,
when you receive a call from a number matching one stored in a VIP
call record, the CID sounds 2 quick beeps each time the phone rings
until you answer the call.
The CID protects VIP call records so you cannot delete them by mistake. To delete a VIP call record, you must first unmark it using the
steps in “Unmarking a VIP Call Record” on Page 5, then delete it using the steps in “Deleting a Single Call” on Page 4.

Care
To enjoy your CID for a long time:
• 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 gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the CID away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the CID with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
Problem Solution
You receive a call, but do
not receive any Caller ID
information.
If the CID still does not operate properly, try resetting it (see "Resetting the CID") or take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
You answered the call before the
Caller ID received the call information. Wait until your phone rings at
least once before answering a call.
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 FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line can damage your CID.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug your
CID during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
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.
