CA-200 ONLY  
The Call Alert CA-200 comes as a  
Master Unit and a Remote Unit  
(each sold separately). The Master  
Unit must be connected to a phone  
line. When the phone rings, the  
Master Unit will flash a connected  
lamp to let you know that your  
phone is ringing; at the same time it  
sends out a carrier signal (through  
the electrical wiring in your home) to  
the Remote Unit. The Remote Unit  
picks up the carrier signal and  
flashes its connected lamp. The  
Master Unit can operate and  
function with a Master Unit. Up to  
three Remote Units can be used  
with a Master Unit.

Regulatory Compliance  
CA-100 & CA-200 MASTER UNIT ONLY  
Part 68 of FCC Rules Information  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC  
rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label  
that contains, among other information, the FCC  
registration number and ringer equivalence  
number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this  
information must be provided to the telephone  
company.  
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment  
to the premises wiring and telephone network  
must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68  
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A  
compliant telephone cord and modular plug, RJ11  
USOC, is provided with this product. It is  
designed to be connected to a compatible  
modular jack that is also compliant. See  
14

installation instructions for details. The REN is  
used to determine the number of devices that may  
be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs  
on a telephone line may result in the devices not  
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most  
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not  
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of  
devices that may be connected to a line, as  
determined by the total RENs, contact the local  
telephone company. For products approved after  
July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of  
the product identifier that has the format  
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by  
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03  
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is  
separately shown on the label.  
If this product, the CA100/200 Call Alert causes  
harm to the telephone network, the telephone  
company will notify you in advance that  
temporary discontinuance of service may be  
required. But if advance notice isnt practical, the  
15  
telephone company will notify the customer as  
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of  
your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you  
believe it is necessary. The telephone company  
may make changes in its facilities, equipment,  
operations or procedures that could affect the  
operation of the equipment. If this happens the  
telephone company will provide advance notice  
in order for you to make necessary modifications  
to maintain uninterrupted service.  
If trouble is experienced with this product, for  
repair or warranty information, please  
contact Walker / Ameriphone, 1-800-874-3005.  
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone  
network, the telephone company may request that  
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is  
resolved.  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS EQUIPMENT.

This telephone equipment is not intended to be  
repaired and it contains no repairable parts.  
Opening the equipment or any attempt to perform  
repairs will void the warranty. For service or  
repairs, call 1-800-874-3005.  
Connection to party line service is subject to state  
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,  
public service commission or corporation  
commission for information.  
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment  
connected to the telephone line, ensure the  
installation of this telephone equipment does not  
disable your alarm equipment. If you have  
questions about what will disable alarm  
equipment, consult your telephone company or a  
qualified installer. This telephone equipment is  
hearing aid compatible.  
We recommend the installation of an AC surge  
arrester in the AC outlet to which this equipment  
17  
is connected. The telephone companies report  
that electrical surges, typically lighting transients,  
are very destructive to customer terminal  
equipment connected to AC power sources.  
Customer-Owned Coin/Credit Card Phones:  
To comply with state tariffs, the telephone  
company must be given notification prior to  
connection. In some states, the state public utility  
commission, public service commission or  
corporation commission must give prior approval  
of connection.

FCC rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the  
19  
instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications. However, there is  
no guarantee that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation; if this equipment  
does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and  
on, you are encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one of the following  
measures:  
Where it can be done safely, reorient the  
receiving television or radio antenna.  
To the extent possible, relocate the television,  
radio or other receiver with respect to the  
telephone equipment. (This increases the  
separation between the telephone equipment  
and the receiver.)
