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.  
Note:  
In some cases, the local environment might affect the  
transmission (for example, aluminum siding, electrical applianc-  
es, computer equipment, and so on).  
The system’s other features include:  
Caller ID Memory  
— stores up to 60 Caller ID records, so you  
always know who called and when they called.  
Out of Area Indication  
— lets you know when an incoming call  
is from an area code that does not send Caller ID information.  
Support for Unlimited Receivers  
— lets you add as many re-  
ceivers as you need, anywhere within 100 feet of the transmit-  
ter.  
3-Line Liquid Crystal Display  
— lets you see at a glance  
whether you have a new call, along with the total number of  
calls, the last caller’s name (if available) and phone number,  
and the current time and date.  
Page Button  
— lets you verify that the receiver is within operat-  
ing range of the transmitter.

Rubber Duck Antenna  
— rotates for the best reception in any  
location.  
Call Waiting Compatibility  
— displays the Caller ID on Call  
Waiting information when you use a Caller ID on Call Waiting-  
equipped telephone or if your telephone is connected to a Caller  
ID on a Call Waiting-equipped device.  
Note:  
When you have Call Waiting, the receiver displays the  
caller’s name and number first, then CALLWAITINGappears,  
and the two appear interchangeably afterwards.  
Your system is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all appli-  
cable FCC standards.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
To use this system, you must be in an area where Caller ID ser-  
vice 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  
Note:  
Your system displays the caller’s name only if that option  
is available in your area.

FCC INFORMATION  
We have designed your system to conform to federal regula-  
tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,  
each system (and each device, such as a telephone or answer-  
ing machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws pow-  
er 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.  
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line,  
add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural  
areas), your telephone might not ring. If ringer operation is im-  
paired, 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 bot-  
tom of the system.  
Note:  
You must not connect your system to:  
• coin-operated systems  
• party-line systems  
• most electronic key telephone systems

43-940.fm Page 7 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM  
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital de-  
vice 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 elimi-  
nate interference, you can try one or more of the following cor-  
rective measures:  
• 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.

mended type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batter-  
ies (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable  
batteries of different capacities.  
Follow these steps to install batteries.  
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on the bat-  
tery compartment cover, then lift and remove the cover.  
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the  
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

ˆ Operation  
RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS  
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company.  
When 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 between the first and second rings.  
The system receives and displays this information for each call  
and updates the display with the current date and time. If the  
caller’s name has more than 15 characters, only the first 15  
characters appear. Your system saves up to 60 call records,  
then replaces the oldest call record with each new one.  
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS  
Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in  
memory and NEWappears. Each call record includes the time  
and date of the call, the call number (the order in which the call  
was received), the caller’s telephone number, and the caller’s  
name (if available).

ˆ Care and Maintenance  
To enjoy your Wireless Caller ID System for a long time:  
• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
• Use and store the system only in normal temperature envi-  
ronments.  
• Handle the system gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.  
• Keep the system away from dust and dirt.  
• Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new.  
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal components  
and void  
can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty  
your FCC authorization to operate it.  
If your system is not per-  
forming 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 system until  
you have resolved the problem.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the  
telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect your  
service. The telephone company normally attempts to notify you  
in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone  
company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of  
your right to file a complaint with the FCC.  
18  
Care and Maintenance  
43-940.fm Page 19 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 1:04 PM  
Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines,  
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the oper-  
ation of this system. The telephone company notifies you of  
these changes in advance so you can take the necessary steps  
to prevent interruption of your telephone service.  
LIGHTNING  
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of  
damage from surges in telephone line and power line current.  
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC require-  
ments. However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines  
can damage your system.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an  
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you un-  
plug your system during storms to reduce the possibility of dam-  
age.
