43-972.fm Page 3 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM FEATURES Your RadioShack Caller ID System 2000 is the latest in telephone Caller ID technology. If Caller ID service is available in your area and you subscribe to it, the telephone company sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available in your area) and the date and time of the call between the first and second rings. The module displays this information during an incoming call to help you identify the caller and avoid unwanted calls.
3-972.fm Page 4 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM Large Display — makes it easy to see caller information, phone line information, and the current time and date. Clock and Date Display — displays the current time and date as provided to Caller ID service subscribers by your local telephone company. Message Received Indicator — flashes when you get an anonymous call, when you have at least one new call you have not reviewed, or when you have received voice mail (if you have message waiting service).
43-972.fm Page 5 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM This module has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and FCC standards. Important Information: • To use this module, you must be in an area where Caller ID service is available, and you must subscribe to the service. • Your module displays the caller’s name only if this feature is available in your area. • The message received indicator flashes when you have voice mail only if this feature is available in your area and you subscribe to it.
43-972.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM FCC INFORMATION 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 line. We refer to this power draw as the module’s ringer equivalence number or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of the module.
43-972.fm Page 7 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM In the unlikely event that your module 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.
43-972.fm Page 8 Monday, August 16, 1999 4:19 PM Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues. If your module is not performing as it should, check its connection to your phones and the phone lines. If you are unable to locate the problem, take your module to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
