Important Information:
• To use this system, you must be in an area

must subscribe to the service.
• Your system displays the caller’s name only
if this feature is available in your area and
you subscribe to it.

FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your System 200 to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each Caller ID
system (and each device, such as a telephone or
answering machine) that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the system’s ringer equiva-
lence number or REN. The REN is on the label
on the bottom of the system.
If you use more than one telephone or other de-
vice on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the to-
tal is more than five, your telephone might not
ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might im-
pair ringer operation. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the line.
8
43-985.fm Page 9 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.
You must, upon request, provide the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) registration
number and the REN to your telephone compa-
ny. These numbers are on the label on the bot-
tom of the system.
Note: You must not connect your System 200 to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
In the unlikely event that your System 200 causes
problems on the phone line, the phone company
can temporarily disconnect your service. If this
happens, the phone company attempts to notify
9
43-985.fm Page 10 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
you in advance. If advance notice is not practical,
the phone company notifies you as soon as pos-
sible and advises you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to
its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of this system. The
phone company notifies you of these changes in
advance, so you can take the necessary steps to
prevent interruption of your telephone service.
This system complies with the limits for a Class B
digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC
Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection
against radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your System 200 might cause TV
or radio interference even when it is operating
10
43-985.fm Page 11 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
properly. To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving radio or TV
antenna
• Increase the distance between the System
200 and the radio or TV
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for
the System 200 and the radio or TV
Contact your local telephone company or Ra-
dioShack store if the problem continues.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES/
SETUP
You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to
power the system. For the longest operation and
best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-
teries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558.
Cautions
:
• Always use fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or re-
chargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.
13
43-985.fm Page 14 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Follow these steps to install batteries and pro-
gram the system.
Note: When replacing the batteries, if you do not
install the new ones within 1 minute, the system’s
date and time will be lost (the Caller ID informa-
tion, however, stays stored in the system’s mem-
ory).
1. If you are replacing the batteries, unplug
both modular line cords from the back of the
system.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the bat-
tery compartment screw on the bottom of the
system, then slide the cover off in the direc-
tion of the arrow on the cover’s door.

partment as indicated by the polarity sym-
bols (+ and –) marked inside.

tomatically set by signals sent from the
phone company with the first incoming
call.
When you enter the area code’s last digit,
the system displays 12:00AM 1/01.
Note: The telephone company sends the
correct time with each incoming call, so the
correct date and time are automatically set
when the system receives its first call.
9. Replace the battery cover and the screw. If
you are replacing the batteries, reconnect
the phone line and the phone.
To reset the language, remove the batteries and
reinstall them.

22
43-985.fm Page 23 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
4. Set your answering machine to answer after
two or more rings. This gives the System 200
time to record call information that the phone
company sends between the first and sec-
ond rings.
Note: Some answering machines block Caller ID
information from the System 200. If this happens,
you might have to disconnect the answering ma-
chine.
MOUNTING THE SYSTEM
You can place the System 200 directly on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall using the sup-
plied mounting bracket and screws.

OPERATION
RECEIVING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone
company. When you subscribe to this service,
the telephone company sends the caller’s tele-
phone number (and name, if available) and the
call’s date and time between the first and second
rings. The system receives and displays this in-
formation for each call (see “Displayed Call Infor-
mation” on Page 31) and updates the display with
the current date and time.
If the system has received a call since the last
time call records were reviewed, the NEW CALL
indicator flashes, NEW CALLflashes on the dis-
play, and the call information appears. After 20
seconds, the system returns to the date and time
display.
27
43-985.fm Page 28 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
ILLUSTRATION
Note: If you have a phone that has a hold fea-
ture, we do not recommend using hold for very
long. The Caller ID information sent by the phone
company might disconnect a caller on hold if a
new call comes in.
28
43-985.fm Page 29 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, your system saves
a call record in memory that you can review later,
even while you are on the phone. Your system
saves up to 64 call records, then (for subsequent
calls) it replaces the oldest call record with each
new one.
A stored call record includes:
• Call number (order the call is received)
• Time and date of the call
• Caller’s telephone number (if available)
• Caller’s name (if available)
29
43-985.fm Page 30 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Follow these steps to review the call information.
1. Repeatedly press REVIEW or to see the
individual call records. The system displays
the phone number (and the name, if avail-
able).
2. To see the date, time, and number of the call,
press READ/DELETE.
3. To see call information for the next or the
previous call, press REVIEW or

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack System 200 64-Memory Caller
ID with Message Waiting is an example of superi-
or design and craftsmanship. The following sug-
gestions will help you care for your system so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can cor-
rode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in
normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten
the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt
plastic parts.
38
43-985.fm Page 39 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Keep the system away from dust and
dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the system gently and care-
fully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the
system to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the re-
quired size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your
system’s electronic parts.
39
43-985.fm Page 40 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
Wipe the system with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemicals, clean-
ing solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate your system’s warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your system is
not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is
affecting the telephone lines, the phone company
can ask you to disconnect your system until you
have resolved the problem.
40
43-985.fm Page 41 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:08 PM
LIGHTNING
Your system has built-in protection circuits to re-
duce the risk of damage from surges in telephone
and power line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power lines can
damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless,
if you live in an area that has severe electrical
storms, we suggest that you unplug the tele-
phone system during storms to reduce the possi-
bility of damage.
