Caller ID System 40  (430-0961)     Features           Faxback Doc. # 7366

Caller Identification (ID) is a service provided by the telephone company.
The Radio Shack Caller ID System 40 is the latest in telephone caller
identification technology.  The System 40 easily connects to your
telephone line.  When Caller ID is activated, the telephone company sends
the caller's telephone number (and name, if available in your area) and
the call's time through the telephone wiring after a call's first ring.
The System 40 then displays the information during an incoming call to
help you identify the caller before answering.  This lets you avoid
nuisance calls.

It includes these features:

Built-In Error Checking - ensures accurate information.

                  Clock - displays the current time as provided to
                          Caller ID service subscribers by your local
                          telephone company.

         Read Scrolling - lets you read incoming caller information that
                          is too long to display at one time.

Notes:  To use this system, you must be in an area where the Caller ID
        service is available, and you must subscribe to the service.

        The Caller ID System displays the caller's name only if this
        feature is available in your area.

        The Caller ID System requires four AAA batteries (not included).

This system has been tested and complies with all applicable UL and FCC
standards.

FCC INFORMATION

We have designed the Caller ID system to conform to federal regulations,
and you can connect it to most telephone lines.  However, each device
(such as a telephone, answering machine, or the Caller ID system) 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
shown on the bottom of the system.

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 telephones 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.

The 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 company.  Both numbers are shown on the
bottom of your system.

Note:  You must not connect the system to any of the following:

       Coin-operated systems

       Party-line systems

       Most electronic key telephone systems

This system also complies with the limits for a Class B device as
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.
However, the system might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following
corrective measures.

       Reorient or relocate the TV receiving antenna.

       Increase the distance between the system and the radio or TV.

Consult your local Radio Shack store if the problem continues to exist.
