Your RadioShack 2-Line Caller ID (CID) is
a combination of two Caller IDs. Its two
separate displays and function keys for
each line let you view call records easily. It
stores and displays up to 100 multiple
(name and number) or number-only Caller
ID records for two telephone lines (50 for
each line). The CID displays the caller’s
telephone number (and name, if available
in your area) and the date and time the
call was received, as provided by your lo-
cal phone company to Caller ID service
subscribers.
Note: Check with your local phone com-
pany regarding name service availability.
Your CID includes these features:
Three-Line Liquid Crystal Display —
makes it easy to see the caller information
and the current time and date simulta-
neously.
Trilingual Operation — lets you select
English, French, or Spanish as the mes-
sage display.
