first incoming Caller ID call.)

literature accompanying this product.
Call Waiting Caller ID — displays information about an incoming
call while you are on the phone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To use this CID, you must be in an area where Caller ID service is
available, and you must subscribe to the service.
Call Waiting Indicator — lets you see the Caller ID information for
Call Waiting calls.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options are
generally available:
Tri-Lingual (English/French/Spanish) — lets you choose the lan-
guage your CID uses to display Caller ID information.
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
Call Summary — displays the number of calls you received.
Time and Date Display — displays the current time and date as
provided to Caller ID service subscribers by your local telephone
company.
• caller's name and number
Your CID displays the caller's name only if that option is available in
your area.
VIP Call List — lets you save up to 55 Caller ID records in a VIP list,
and sounds a tone when any of those callers call.
The actual number of Caller ID records your CID will store depends
on the amount of Caller ID information sent by the phone company.
Delete — lets you erase Caller ID records one at a time or all at
once.
FCC INFORMATION
Contrast Control — lets you adjust the display contrast for the best
readability.
We have designed your CID to conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each CID (and
each device, such as a telephone or answering machine) that you
connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number or REN.
The REN is on the bottom of the Caller ID.
Two View Angle Options — lets you select the desired view angle
using the stand.
Your CID is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable
FCC standards.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add
up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your telephone might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove
a device from the line.
Your CID complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your
telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the CID.

ˆ Care
To enjoy your CID for a long time:
LIGHTNING
• Keep the CID dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Your CID has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone and power line current. These protection
circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning strik-
ing the phone line can damage your CID.
• Use and store the CID only in normal temperature environ-
ments.
• Handle the CID gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the CID away from dust and dirt.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug your
CID during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
• Wipe the CID with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
Modifying or tampering with the CID’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If your CID is not
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for as-
sistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone
company can ask you to disconnect your CID until you have re-
solved the problem.
