CID-948 Jumbo Caller ID with 50 Memory

Your RadioShack Jumbo Caller ID is the latest in telephone technol-

ogy. The system displays the current date, time, and caller informa-

tion as provided by your local phone company to Caller ID service

subscribers. 

The system stores and displays up to 50 multiple (name and num-

ber) Caller ID records and includes these features:

Jumbo Display with Photo Sensor — makes it easy to see caller

information and the current date and time. The system’s photo sen-

sor automatically adjusts the display brightness according to the am-

bient light.

Total Call Count — lets you know how many calls are stored in

memory.

Line Status Indicator — alerts you when you have an incoming call

and the status of a parallel phone in use.

Mounting Options — you can place the system on a desk, shelf, or

table, or mount it on a wall.

FCC STATEMENT

We have designed your caller ID system to conform to federal regu-

lations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,

each device (such as a telephone, caller ID, or answering machine)

that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the tele-

phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equiv-

alence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your caller ID.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up

all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas),

your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, re-

move 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 bottom of the system.

Note: You must not connect your system to:

• coin-operated systems

• party-line systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone

line, the phone company can temporally disconnect 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.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this sys-

tem. The telephone company notifies you of these change in ad-

vance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption

of your telephone service.

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device

as specified in Part 15 of 

FCC Rules. These limits provide reason-

able protection against radio and TV interference in a residential ar-

ea.

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.

• 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.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly ap-

proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

USING AC POWER

To power the system, plug the supplied adapter’s barrel plug into the

9V DC

 jack on the back of the system. Connect the other end of the

adapter to a standard AC outlet. 

After you power up the system, all indicators light for about 3 sec-

onds, then the caller ID returns to standby.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies

9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip

must be set to positive and its plug must fit the caller

ID’s 9V DC jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifica-

tions. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications

could damage the caller ID or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to the caller ID before you con-

nect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter

from AC power before you disconnect it from the caller ID.
