CALLER ID BOX SETUP
IMPORTANT
To use this Caller ID box, you must be in an
area where Caller ID service is available, and
you must subscribe to the service.
!
!
Caller ID is a service provided by your tele-
phone company. When you subscribe to this
service, between the first and second rings,
the telephone company sends the caller’s
telephone number (and name, if available) and
the call’s date and time. The Caller ID box
receives and displays this information for each
call and updates the display with the current
date and time. Your Caller ID box saves up
to 64 Caller ID records, then replaces the
oldest Caller ID record with each new one.
To power the system, plug the
supplied Class 2 AC adapter’s
barrel plug into DC 6V 200 mA on the
back of the Caller ID box. Then connect the
other end of the adapter to a standard AC
outlet. Ô
!
Ô NOTE Ô
• The backlight does not work if the AC
adapter is disconnected.
• The USOC number for both the single-line
and two-line jacks to be installed is RJ11C
(or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).

We have designed your Caller ID box to
conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each Caller ID box (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

However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular

turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference

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 (three in rural

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
company can temporarily discontinue 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.
• If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your Caller ID box.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by RadioShack may cause
interference and void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation
of this Caller ID box. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.
