FCC INFORMATION 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. If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the tota

Preparation INSTALLING BATTERIES/ SETUP Your CID requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) to protect its memory when AC power fails or is disconnected. For the longest life and best performance, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • 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. Follow thes

When replacing the batteries, make sure the CID is unplugged from the telephone line and AC power, and unplug both modular line cords from the back of the CID. Note: When replacing the batteries, have fresh ones on hand before you begin. If you do not install the new batteries within 2 minutes after removing the old ones, you will lose the time, date, and area code stored in the CID. (The Caller ID information, however, remains stored in the CID's memory.) 1. Use a Phillips screwdrive
