The actual number of Caller ID records your module will store
depends on the amount of Caller ID information sent by the
phone company.
FCC INFORMATION
This module has be en te sted and found to comply with a ll applicable FCC standards.
We have designed your module to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each module (and each device, such as a telephone 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 equ ivalenc e numb er, or REN . The REN i s on the
bottom of your module.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add
up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (or three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, re move a device from the line.
Your module complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the module.
Note:
You must not connect your module to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems

and the radio or TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your module requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) to protect its memory during a power failure. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons
on the modu le after you remove the old batteries. 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 minute s a fter re moving the old ones, yo u wil l
lose all the information stored in the module.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. If you are replacing batteries, unplug the module from the
telephone line, the telephone, and AC power. Unplug both
modular line cords from the back of the module.

4. Place the batteries in the compartment, as indicated by the

5. Close the cover and secure it with the screw. If you are
replacing the batteries, reconnect the phone line, AC
adapter, and the phone.
