BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the following items:
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 (CA11A) type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured
here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone
company to find out how to get one installed.

POWERING THE CALLER ID UNIT

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Disconnect the line cords from the back of the unit and wait a
few seconds for the unit to go into standby.
1. Use a screwdriver or other flat tool to open the battery
compartment door.
2. Insert 3 “AAA” size batteries as shown on the diagram in the
battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment door securely.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
If the LOW BATTERY Text and Indicator appears in the
display, you need to replace the batteries. It is important
that you replace the batteries as soon as possible to
guarantee reception of the Caller ID signals.
When you replace the batteries, your Caller ID unit retains
stored information for up to 60 seconds. It is still a good idea
to write down information that you do not want to lose.
INSTALLATION WITH A STAND-ALONE ANSWERING MACHINE
The answering machine must be set to answer calls after at least 2 rings to properly
receive Caller ID information. To use your Caller ID unit with an answering machine:
1. Plug a telephone line cord into either jack on the back of the Caller ID unit and into
the Modular Jack on the wall.
2. Plug another telephone line cord into the remaining jack on the back of the unit into
the answering machine Input/Line jack.
3. Plug a third telephone line cord into the answering machine Phone jack and into the
telephone.
MESSAGE INDICATORS
The following special messages indicate the status of a message or the unit:
NO CALL The caller memory is empty.
UNKNOWN CALL The incoming call does not have Caller ID service or their service area
is not linked to yours. If UNKNOWN NAME appears with a calling
number, the name information was not available for that number.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

NO DIAL TONE ON THE PHONE ATTACHED TO THE CALLER ID UNIT
• Check all cabling to make sure that all connections are secure.
NO DISPLAY
• Check for proper battery installation.
NO INFORMATION IS SHOWN AFTER THE PHONE RINGS
• NO DATA appears in the display if no Caller ID signal has been detected, or Caller ID
service has not been activated by your local telephone company.
• Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.
ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED
•
ERROR
appears in the display if the unit detects anything other than valid Caller ID
information during the silent period after the first ring. This message indicates either
the presence of noise on the line, or that an invalid message has been sent from the
telephone company.
REN NUMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC
Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You
must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your
line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone

particularly important in rural areas.

electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient the radio/
television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and

temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or
