Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Adjustable
View Caller ID Box. Your Caller ID Box stores and
displays up to 64 multiple (name and number) or 99
single (number-only) Caller ID records. It displays the
caller’s telephone number (and name, if available in
your area) and the current date and time, as provided
by your local phone company to Caller ID service
subscribers.

The actual number of Caller ID records your Caller ID box
stores depends on the Caller ID information sent by the phone

phone company sends number-only records, your Caller ID
box stores up to 99 records.

IMPORTANT
Caller ID is a service provided by your
telephone 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 99 call records,
then replaces the oldest call record with
each new one.
!
!
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.
Your Caller ID box connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
telephone wiring does not have a modular
jack, you can update the wiring yourself
using jacks and adapters (available at your
local RadioShack store), or have the
telephone company update the wiring for
you. You must use compatible modular
jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC
Rules and the requirements adopted by the
ACTA. The telephone cord and modular
plug provided is Part 68 compliant for
connecting to the telephone company
network.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need three AAA batteries (not supplied)
to power and protect the Caller ID box’s
memory during a power failure. Batteries are

This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

to radio communications.
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.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you.
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.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.

those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Ser-
vice Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or bat-

receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
be sure that installing the Caller ID box does
not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable your
alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
• 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
