FCC INFORMATION
Your module has been designed to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each module (and each device, such as a telephone or answer-
ing machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws pow-
er from the line. We refer to this power draw as the module’s
ringer equivalence number or REN. The REN is shown on the
bottom of the module.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line,
add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your tele-
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
Your module complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) registration number and the REN to your telephone
company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of your mod-
ule.
5
43-964.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
Note: You must not connect your module to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
In the unlikely event that your module causes problems on the
telephone line, the telephone company normally attempts to no-
tify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the tele-
phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company can also make changes to its lines,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the oper-
ation of this module. The telephone company normally notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.
6
43-964.fm Page 7 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
This module complies with the limits for a Class B device as
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits provide reason-
able protection against radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your module might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly.
To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the follow-
ing:
• Reorient or relocate the radio or TV receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the module and the radio or
TV
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the module
and the radio or TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.
7
43-964.fm Page 8 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
If your module is not performing as it should, check the connec-
tion to the telephone line. Calls are automatically switched and
routed through complex equipment, so you might occasionally
hear noise on the line. When a call is too noisy, hang up and re-
dial the number. If you still have problems, immediately discon-
nect the module. If a telephone on the same line works properly,
the fault is in the module or its installation. If you are unable to
locate the problem, take your module to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
The module requires four AAA batteries for power. For the long-
est operation, we recommend you use alkaline batteries (such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555).
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. If the phone line is already connected, unplug it from the
module.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the screw from the
battery compartment door, then slide off the cover.
10
43-964.fm Page 11 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
3. Before the display dims, place fresh batteries in the com-
partment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside the compartment.
(il-
Caution: Do not force the batteries into the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with
the screw.
The module automatically tests the batteries each time it re-
+
ceives a new call. When
appears on the display or the dis-
play dims, replace the batteries.
11
43-964.fm Page 12 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak
chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.
Note: When you remove the batteries, even for a short time, the
module’s time is lost. However, the caller ID information re-
mains in the module’s memory.
RESETTING THE DISPLAY
Before you use the module the first time or if the display locks
up, use a pointed object such as a straightened paper clip to
press RESET on the module’s upper end. 12:00 AMappears

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE
The module connects to a modular phone line jack and your
telephone. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular
phone line jack, you can update the wiring yourself using the
necessary jacks and adapters, available at your local Ra-
dioShack store.
Or, you can have the telephone company update your tele-
phone wiring for you.
Notes
:
• The telephone company charges to install the necessary
jacks.
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C for a
baseboard jack, or RJ11W for a wall jack.

OPERATION
RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS
When you receive a call, the module automatically displays
and all caller ID information sent by the phone com-
pany, including the caller’s telephone number and the call’s
time and date. In some areas, the caller’s name is also sent.
As it receives calls, the module stores the information in its
memory for later recall. The module can store up to 99 in-
coming number-only calls or 50 incoming name and number
calls.
Notes
:
• If the phone number is more than 12 digits, the display will
show the rest of the number automatically after about 2
seconds.
• After the module’s memory is full, new call information
replaces the oldest stored records.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Caller ID System 310 is an example of supe-
rior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage its circuit boards and case and can cause it to
work improperly.
• Use and store the system only in normal temperature envi-
ronments.
• Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
• Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and
type. Always remove an old or weak batteries.
• Occasionally wipe the system with a damp cloth to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the system.
30
43-964.fm Page 31 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:49 PM
Modifying or tampering with your system’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the system’s war-
ranty. If your system is not operating as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is harming
the telephone lines, the telephone company might ask you to
disconnect your system until you have resolved the problem.
LIGHTNING
Your module has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line current. These protection
circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, light-
ning striking the telephone lines can damage your module.
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug
your module during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
