READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your system to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the telephone line draws pow-
er from the line. We refer to this power draw
as the system’s ringer equivalence number,
or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of
your system.
If you use more than one system or other de-
vice 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 opera-
tion is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and REN to your
telephone company. These numbers are on
the bottom of the system.
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your system causes
problems on the telephone line, the tele-
phone 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.
Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation
of this telephone. 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 current. These protection cir-
cuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone
lines can damage your telephone and the
system.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your telephone and the system when storms
approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
Your RadioShack Digital Telephone Answer-
ing System with 99/99 CID Memory is a com-
bination high-quality fully-digital answering
system and Caller ID. The system prevents
you from missing incoming calls and messag-
es. Fully digital means the system stores all
messages on a computer chip. This gives
you capabilities that tape-based answering
machine do not have. There is no tape mech-
anism to wear out and no tapes to bother
with. Also, you can listen quickly from mes-
sage to message without listening to all of
them.
The system 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 ser-
vice subscribers. It saves up to 99 Caller ID
records that you can review and call back.
