OWNER'S MANUAL —
Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Advance
CID/Call Waiting ID Box. Your Caller ID box stores and
displays up to 64 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.
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
The actual number of Caller ID records your Caller ID box
stores depends on the Caller ID information sent by the phone
company.
!
IMPORTANT
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.
Ô Ô
NOTE
• The backlight does not work if the AC
adapter is disconnected.
• The USOC number for both the single-line
and two-line jacks to be installed is RJ11C
(or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
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.

BATTERY NOTES
• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and
properly.
• Do not burn or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the Caller ID box for
a month or more, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
• When replacing batteries, do not press any
buttons on the Caller ID box after you
remove the old batteries. Doing so could
erase all stored information.
• When replacing the batteries, have fresh
ones on hand before you begin. If you do not
install the new batteries within about 2
minutes after removing the old ones, you will
lose all the information stored in the
Caller ID box.

CALLER ID BOX SETUP
!
Caller ID is a service provided by your tele-
phone 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 64 Caller ID records, then replaces the
oldest Caller ID record with each new one.
