Caller ID System 40  (430-0961)     Preparation        Faxback Doc. # 7367

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES

The system uses four AAA batteries for power.  For the longest operation,
we recommend you use alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555).

Note:  When     appears on the display or the display dims, replace the
       batteries.

1.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the battery
    compartment door, then slide off the cover.

2.  Remove and discard any old batteries.

    Caution:  Always remove old or weak batteries.  Batteries can leak
              chemicals which can damage electronic circuits.

3.  Place four fresh batteries in the compartment as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment.

4.  Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

Battery Test

The system automatically tests the batteries when it receives each new
call.  If the batteries are weak, +/- appears on the display.

MOUNTING THE SYSTEM

You can place the system directly on a desk, table, or shelf using the
stand to tilt the system for viewing.  Or, you can follow these steps to
mount the system on a wall.

1.  Drill two holes 2 3/8 inches apart into the wall.  Thread two screws
    (not supplied) into the wall.  The screws should extend about 1/8-inch
    (about the width of two stacked pennies) from the wall.

2.  Press the two latches to remove the detachable stand.

3.  Align the keyholes on the back of the system with the two screws and
    slide the system down to secure it to the wall.

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE

The Caller ID system connects to a modular wall jack and your telephone.
If your telephone wiring does not have a modular wall jack, you can update
the wiring yourself.  Radio Shack stores sell the necessary jacks and
adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.

Or, you can have the telephone company update your telephone wiring for
you.

Notes:  The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

        The telephone company might ask you for the USOC number of the
        jacks to be installed.  This number is RJ11C for a baseboard jack,
        or RJ11W for a wall jack.

1.  Unplug the telephone line cord from your telephone and plug it into
    the system's TEL LINE jack.

2.  Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the system's PHONE jack.

3.  Plug the other end of the supplied line cord into the telephone.

RESETTING THE SYSTEM

Before you use the system the first time, or to clear information from the
system at any time, use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper
clip, to press RESET on the back of the system.  The display shows
12--00 AM.

Notes:  The current displayed time normally shows a flashing dash (--)
         instead of a colon between the hour and minute digits.

        Immediately after resetting the Caller ID system, the displayed
        time will be incorrect until you receive the first call (the
        system automatically sets the correct time each time you receive a
        call).

        Immediately after resetting the caller ID system, if you press
        READ, NO CALL appears on the display.
