Serial Number _____________________  
READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION  
Your caller ID system conforms to federal regulations, and  
you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each  
device you connect to the phone line draws power from the  
phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ring-  
er equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the label on  
the bottom of the system.  
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the  
line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your  
phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three  
5
 
43-968.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired,  
remove a device from the line.  
FCC STATEMENT  
Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,  
upon request, provide the FCC Registration Number and  
the REN to your phone company. These numbers are on  
the label on the bottom of the system.  
Note:  
You must not connect the system to:  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
• Most electronic key telephone systems

PREPARATION  
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND  
SELECTING THE DISPLAY  
LANGUAGE  
Your Caller ID System 60 is powered by four AAA batteries  
(not supplied). For the longest operation, we recommend al-  
kaline batteries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558).  
Notes:  
• When BATTERIES LOW appears on the display, re-  
place the batteries.  
• Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak  
chemicals which can damage electronic circuits.  
• When you replace the batteries, the system loses all  
call information, but the time is automatically set when  
the system receives its first phone call.

line.  
2. Turn over the system so the bottom is facing up.  
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the battery com-  
partment’s safety locking screw.

screw.  
Notes:  
• The correct date and time are automatically set when  
your Caller ID System 60 receives its first call.  
To reset the language, remove the batteries and rein-  
stall them.  
CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE  
The Caller ID System 60 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.  
RadioShack stores sell jacks and adapters necessary to  
convert older wiring methods to modular wiring. Or, you can  
have the telephone company update your telephone wiring  
for you.

43-968.fm Page 13 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
Notes:  
• The telephone company charges to install the neces-  
sary jacks.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.  
Follow these steps to connect the system to the telephone  
line.  
1. Unplug the existing telephone line cord from the tele-  
phone and plug it into the LINE jack on your Caller ID  
System 60.  
2. Plug one end of the supplied telephone line cord into  
the System 60’s PHONE jack.  
3. Plug the other end of that cord into your telephone.

WALL MOUNTING  
You can mount the System 60 on a wall using the supplied  
screws and mounting bracket.  
1. Select a location near the phone line jack, then use the  
supplied mounting bracket to mark the two mounting  
holes on the wall.  
2. Drill two holes at the marked locations.  
3. Thread the screws through the bracket into the holes  
and tighten.  
4. Slide the System 60 onto the bracket.

OPERATION  
RECEIVING INCOMING CALLS  
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company.  
When Caller ID is activated, the telephone company sends  
the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available) and  
the call’s date and time between the first and second rings.  
The Caller ID System 60 receives and displays this informa-  
tion for each call and updates the display with the current  
date and time. The display also indicates if caller information  
is not available or if the number is blocked by the sender  
(see “Display Messages” on Page 18).  
If the system has received a call since the last time call  
records were reviewed, the NEW CALL indicator flashes  
and the call information appears.  
15  
 
43-968.fm Page 16 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
Notes:  
• If you connect a telephone answering machine to the  
same line as the Caller ID System 60, you must set the  
answering machine to answer in two or more rings in  
order to receive the Caller ID information.  
• When the system’s memory is full, it automatically  
deletes the oldest call record as a new call comes in.

Message Waiting

service, your Caller ID System 60 can inform you when the  
phone company has messages waiting. When the phone  
company sends a message flag to your phone line, the sys-  
tem displays MESSAGEWAITINGand the NEW CALL indi-  
cator flashes.  
Note: If a message waiting indication comes in while you  
are on a phone call, the MESSAGEWAITINGdisplay does  
not appear until the next time you receive a call.  
The system’s display alternates between MESSAGE  
WAITING and the incoming call information. The system  
continues to display MESSAGE WAITING and the NEW  
CALL indicator keeps flashing until you retrieve the mes-  
sage from the phone company.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack Caller ID System 60 is an example of su-  
perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions  
will help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for  
years.  
• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi-  
ately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode  
the electronic circuits.  
• Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can  
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause it to  
work improperly.  
• Use and store the system only in normal temperature  
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the  
life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic  
parts.  
• Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can  
cause premature wear of parts.  
• Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to  
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, clean-  
ing solvents, or strong detergents to clean the system.

43-968.fm Page 25 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
Modifying or tampering with the Caller ID System 60’s inter-  
nal components can cause a malfunction and might invali-  
date your system’s warranty and void your FCC  
authorization to operate it. If your Caller ID System 60 is not  
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack  
store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone  
lines, the phone company might ask you to disconnect your  
system until you resolve the problem.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on  
the telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect  
your service. The telephone company attempts to notify you  
in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone  
company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you  
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.  
Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines,  
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this system. The telephone company notifies  
25  
 
43-968.fm Page 26 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
you of these changes in advance so you can take the nec-  
essary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone ser-  
vice.  
Your system complies with the limits for a Class B digital de-  
vice as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro-  
vide reasonable protection against radio and TV  
interference in a residential area. However, your system  
might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operat-  
ing properly. To eliminate interference, you can try one or  
more of the following corrective measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the system and the  
radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the system  
and the radio or TV.  
Consult your local telephone company or RadioShack store  
if the problem continues.  
26  
 
43-968.fm Page 27 Monday, August 16, 1999 3:56 PM  
LIGHTNING  
Your System 60 has built-in protection circuits to reduce the  
risk of damage from surges in telephone and power line cur-  
rent. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC re-  
quirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or  
power lines can damage your system.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live  
in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that  
you unplug your system during the storms to reduce the  
possibility of damage.
