3-940.fm Page 4 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM ˆ Features Your RadioShack Wireless Caller ID System lets you screen your phone calls, so you can decide whether or not to answer. When you are up to 100 feet (30.48 meters) away from the phone and you receive a call, the system’s transmitter instantly sends the caller’s name and phone number (as provided by your local telephone company to Caller ID service subscribers) to its receiver.

43-940.fm Page 6 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM FCC INFORMATION We have designed your system to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each system (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 equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the system.
43-940.fm Page 7 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits provide reasonable 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: • Reorient or relocate the TV or radio’s receiving antenna.
43-940.fm Page 8 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM ˆ Preparation POWERING THE SYSTEM’S TRANSMITTER Use the supplied 9V, 200-mA AC adapter to power the system’s transmitter. Cautions: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the transmitter's DC 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the transmitter or the adapter.
43-940.fm Page 9 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM POWERING THE SYSTEM’S RECEIVER You can power the system’s receiver using four C batteries or an AC adapter (neither supplied). Installing Batteries The system’s receiver can use four C batteries (not supplied) for power. For 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.
43-940.fm Page 10 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Caution: If you do not plan to use the receiver with batteries for a month, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Using AC Power You can also power the system’s receiver using an optional 9V, 200-mA AC adapter and a size M AdaptaplugTM adapter (available at your local RadioShack store).
43-940.fm Page 11 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM CONNECTING THE SYSTEM The system’s transmitter connects to any modular phone jack and your phone. You can also connect it to an answering machine. Note: To insure proper operation, always connect the system’s transmitter directly to a wall jack. Connecting to a Single-Line Phone 1. Disconnect the line cord from your phone and plug it into the transmitter’s LINE-IN jack. Be sure the other end of the line cord is directly connected to a wall jack.
