In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone
line, the phone company can temporally 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 system. The telephone company notifies you of these change in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your telephone service.

FCC STATEMENT
We have designed your caller ID system to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each device (such as a telephone, caller ID, 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 equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your caller ID.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add u p
all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
Your system 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 system.
• 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.
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.
Warning:
