The FCC Wants You to Know
In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your ser- vice. If this happens, the telephone company attempts to notify you as soon as possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equip- ment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of the system. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup- tion of your telephone service.

CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
Your system connects to any modular phone jack and phone. You can also connect it to an answering machine. Your system is de- signed to be connected to the telephone network using a compatible modular jack that is compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules.
The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (for both tele- phone line jacks).

Your system has
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you unplug your sys- tem when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your CID requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power and to protect its memory in the event of a power failure. For the best per- formance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline bat- teries.
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.
•When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons on the system until you have installed fresh batteries. Doing so could erase all stored information.
•When replacing the batteries, have fresh ones on hand before you begin. If you do not install the new batteries within about 2 minutes after removing the old ones, you will lose all the infor- mation stored in the system.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1.Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw in the battery compartment cover.
2.Press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.
3.Put four fresh AAA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and
4.Close the cover and secure it with the screw.
Warning: Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
