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.
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B d igital device
as specified in Part 15 of
able 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:

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:
proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Connecting to a Two-Line Phone
To record information about calls rece ived on a two-line phone, you
can connect two caller IDs using a triplex adapter (not supplied).
Each system only records information about calls received on the
line to which it is connected.
Follow these steps to connect two caller IDs to a two-line phone.

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.
This gives the caller ID time to record the call in formation that
the phone company sends between the first and second rings.

Note:
RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. Whe n
you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date
and time.
The system receives this information and displays the name (the
number will not display unless the caller name is not available) for
each call and updates the display with the current date and time.
Your system saves up to 50 call records, then replaces the oldest
call record with each new one.

CARE
To enjoy your RadioShack Jumbo Caller ID for a long time:
• Keep the caller ID dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the caller ID only in normal temperature environments.
• Handle the caller ID gently and carefully. Do not drop it.
• Keep the caller ID away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the caller ID with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the caller ID’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your caller
ID 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
caller ID
until
you have resolved the problem.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in phone line or power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in and area
that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your
system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
