2. Follow Steps 1-4 of “Installing Batteries.”  
3. Reconnect the modular line cords.  
The FCC Wants You to Know  
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone  
line, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your ser-  
vice. If this happens, the telephone company attempts to notify you  
as soon as possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint  
with the FCC.  
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM  
Your system connects to any modular phone jack and phone. You  
can also connect it to an answering machine. Your system is de-  
signed to be connected to the telephone network using a compatible  
modular jack that is compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  
Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equip-  
ment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of the  
system. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in  
advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup-  
tion of your telephone service.  
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (for both tele-  
phone line jacks).  
Lightning  
Connecting to a Single-Line Phone  
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of dam-  
age from surges in phone line or power line current. These protec-  
tion circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning  
striking the phone line can damage your system.  
1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the phone and plug it  
into the system’s TO LINE jack.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the system’s TO  
PHONE jack.  
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in an area  
that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug your sys-  
tem when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.  
3. Plug the other end of the cord into the phone’s jack.  
Connecting to a Two-Line Phone  
INSTALLING BATTERIES  
To record information about calls received on a two-line phone, you  
can connect two systems using a triplex adapter (not supplied),  
available at your local RadioShack store. Each system only records  
information about calls received on the line to which it is connected.  
Your CID requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power and to  
protect its memory in the event of a power failure. For the best per-  
formance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline bat-  
teries.  
L1+2  
L2  
L1  
Cautions:  
Systems  
• 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.  
Triplex Adapter  
• When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons on the  
system until you have installed fresh batteries. Doing so could  
erase all stored information.  
Follow these steps to connect two systems to a two-line phone.  
1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the modular phone jack  
on the wall and plug it into L1 + L2 on the triplex adapter.  
• 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 infor-  
mation stored in the system.  
2. Plug the triplex adapter into the modular phone jack.  
3. Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the TO LINE jack on  
one of the systems.  
Follow these steps to install batteries.  
4. Plug the other end of the cord into either L1 or L2 on the triplex  
adapter.  
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw in the battery  
compartment cover.  
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to connect another system to the other  
jack (L1 or L2) on the triplex adapter.  
2. Press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction  
of the arrow.  
Connecting to an Answering Machine  
3. Put four fresh AAA batteries into the compartment as indicated  
by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.  
1. Plug one end of the supplied telephone line cord into the modu-  
lar wall jack. Then plug the other end into the system’s TO LINE  
jack.  
4. Close the cover and secure it with the screw.  
Warning: Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly. Do not  
bury or burn them.  
2. Plug one end of another modular cord (not supplied) into the  
system’s TO PHONE jack. Plug the cord’s other end into the  
answering machine’s line jack.  
Replacing the Batteries  
When BATTappears or the display dims, replace the batteries.  
1. Unplug both modular line cords from the back of the system,  
then wait a few seconds.

3. Plug a third telephone line cord into the answering machine’s  
phone jack and the phone’s modular jack.  
SETTING THE TIME  
The time and date are set with your first incoming Caller ID and up-  
dated with every new call. To toggle between 12- or 24-hour time  
formats, repeatedly press DELETE while the system is not in use.

RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS  
To Phone  
System  
Answering Machine  
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. When  
you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the call-  
er’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date  
and time between the first and second rings. The system receives  
and displays this information for each call and updates the display  
with the current date and time. Your system saves up to 79 call  
records, then replaces the oldest call record with each new one. Re-  
peat calls are stored separately, instead of all on the same record.  
4. Set your answering machine to answer after two or more rings.  
This gives the system time to record the call information that the  
phone company sends between the first and second rings.  
MOUNTING THE SYSTEM  
You can set the system flat on a desk, shelf, or table or use the sup-  
plied mounting bracket to set the system at an angle. You can also  
use the bracket to mount the system to a wall.  
During an incoming call, the red new call indicator flashes quickly  
while the phone is ringing, then the number of new and total calls ap-  
pear. The indicator flashes slowly until all calls are reviewed.  
Attaching the Mounting Bracket  
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS  
1. Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the system with the  
hooks on the mounting bracket.  
Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in mem-  
ory that you can see while you are on the phone, or review later.  
Each call record includes the time and date of the call, the call num-  
ber (order in which the call is received), the caller’s telephone num-  
ber, and the caller’s name (if available).  
2. Gently push the bracket up into the system to secure it.  
To remove the bracket from the system, press up from the bottom of  
the system until the bracket snaps off.  
To scroll through the call records, repeatedly press (or hold down)  
either REVIEW key.  
Mounting on Wall  
To mount the system on the wall, you need two screws (not sup-  
plied) with heads larger than the keyhole slots on the back of the  
mounting bracket.  
Notes:  
• If no call information is stored, -NOCALL-appears when you  
press either REVIEW key.  
1. Drill two holes 17/16 inches (37 mm) apart

about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the mounting  
surface.
