ˆ Important Information • To use this Caller ID (CID), you must be in an area where Caller ID service 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.
FCC INFORMATION We have designed your Caller ID (CID) to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each CID (and each device, such as a telephone or answering machine) 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 your CID. If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs.
• 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.
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 CID 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. LIGHTNING Your CID has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone and power line current.
ˆ Features Your RadioShack 2-Line Caller ID (CID) is a combination of two Caller IDs. Its two separate displays and function keys for each line let you view call records easily. It stores and displays up to 100 multiple (name and number) or number-only Caller ID records for two telephone lines (50 for each line).
Call Counter — shows the number of calls you have received. New Call Indicator — lets you see at a glance that you have new calls. Clock — displays the current time and date as provided to Caller ID service subscribers by your local telephone company. Reviewing Scrolling — lets you easily scroll through all records in Caller ID memory. Contrast Control — lets you adjust the display contrast to match your preference.
ˆ Preparation INSTALLING BATTERIES/ SETUP You need six AAA batteries (not supplied) to power the CID. For the longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack store. Cautions: • Always use fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, standard, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. Follow these steps to install batteries. 1.
2. Insert six fresh AAA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. 3. Turn the CID over so you can see the display. After you install the batteries, SET LANGUAGE flashes briefly, then ENGLISH (the default display language) flashes for about 10 seconds. Note: If you do not press any button for about 10 seconds, the CID automatically selects English and the time and date appear. 4. To select another language, press REVIEW 8. FRENCH flashes.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage your CID. Notes: • Before you replace the batteries, have fresh ones on hand. If you do not install new batteries within about 2 minutes after removing the old ones, the CID records and the date and time will be lost. The records cannot be replaced, but the date and time will automatically reset when you receive the next call.
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY’S CONTRAST Your CID has eight display contrast settings (0–7). Follow these steps to adjust the display’s contrast. 1. Hold down DELETE and REVIEW 9 until CONTRAST X (X equals the current contrast setting) appears. 2. Continue to hold down DELETE and press REVIEW 8 or 9 to select the desired contrast setting. 3. Release DELETE. The date and time appear. CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE The CID connects to your phone and phone line using four modular telephone line connectors.
Notes: • If you connect the CID to only one phone line, the CID displays Caller ID information for only that line. • The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (for a single-line phone jack) or RJ14C (for a two-line phone jack). • One two-line modular cord and one single-line modular cord are supplied. The two-line cord has four pins inside the jack. The one-line cord has two pins inside the jack.

Notes: • We provide only a few of the available options for use of this CID with an answering machine. You can use any number of connection combinations with your CID such as a 2-line telephone or a telephone/ answering machine combination.
For Both Lines or Line 1 Only Line 1 or Line 1/Line 2 Answering Machine Caller ID For Line 2 Only Answering Machine Line 2 Caller ID MOUNTING THE CID You can place the CID on a flat surface with the supplied stand. Or, you can mount it on a wall. Note: The stand comes attached to the bottom of the CID for desk mounting. Follow these steps to mount the CID on a wall. 1. To remove the stand, press down on the two tabs on the top of the stand and lift it off.
2. Select a location near the phone line jack(s) and mark mounting screw locations 5 1/8 inches (130 mm) apart on the wall. 3. Drill two 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) holes in the wall at the marked locations. 4. Thread a screw into each hole until the head extends 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) from the wall. 5. Align the two screws with the keyholes on the bottom of the CID. Slide the CID down onto the screws to secure it.
ˆ Operation INCOMING CALLS When you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone company sends the caller’s phone number (and name, if available) and the call’s time and date between the first and second rings. Your CID receives and displays this information for each call and updates the current date and time. You cannot manually set the date and time.
MESSAGE WAITING Note: The message waiting feature does not work with stutter dial tone service. Check with your phone company for the type of service you have. If you subscribe to the telephone company’s message waiting service and have a voice-mail message waiting, CALL and MESSAGE WAITING appear on the display. MESSAGE WAITING remains on the display until you retrieve the message. If you are talking on the phone when a call comes in, it automatically rolls over to message waiting.
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS Each time you receive a call, your CID stores a record that you can see while you are on the phone, or review later. Your CID saves up to 100 call records for two phone lines (50 records for each line), replacing the oldest call record with a new call record. Each call record includes the call number (order in which the call is received), the time and date of the call, the caller’s phone number (if available), and the caller’s name (if available).

DELETING CALLER ID RECORDS Caller ID records remain in memory until you delete them, unless they are lost during battery replacement (see “Installing Batteries/Setup” on Page 10). To delete a single call record on the desired phone line, repeatedly press that line’s REVIEW 8 or 9 until you see the record you want to delete, then press DELETE twice. The record disappears. The next record appears or, if no other calls are stored, NO CALLS appears.
ˆ Troubleshooting If your CID is not working as it should, these suggestions might help you eliminate the problem. Problem Suggestions Display is blank. Replace the batteries. See “Installing Batteries/Setup” on Page 10. You have an incoming call, but do not receive any call information. Someone picked up a telephone on the same phone line before the CID recorded the call record. This is not a malfunction. Check that the CID is correctly and securely connected.
CARE 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 carefully; do not drop it. Keep the CID away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. 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.
