This device has been tested and found
to comply with all applicable UL and
FCC standards.
Important Information
• To use this system’s Caller ID func-
tion, you must be in an area where
Caller ID service is available, and
you must subscribe to the service.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock
hazard, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.

caller’s name and number
Your system displays the caller’s
name only if that option is available
in your area.
This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsu-
lated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that might
be of sufficient magnitude to con-
stitute a risk of electric shock. Do
not open the product’s case.
• The actual number of Caller ID
records your system will store
depends on the amount of Caller ID
information sent by the phone com-
pany.
• Tandy Corporation assumes no
responsibility for any loss or claims
that might arise through use of this
organizer or for damages incurred
as a result of information loss due to
malfunctions, repairs, battery re-
placement, or misuse. You should
maintain physical records of impor-
tant information to protect against
such loss.
This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are
included in the literature accom-
panying this product.
!
We have designed your organizer to
conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each organizer (and each de-
vice, such as a telephone or answering
machine) that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the tele-
phone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device’s ringer equivalence num-
ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of your organizer.
3
65-790.fm Page 4 Monday, November 29, 1999 3:59 PM
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five (or
three in rural areas), your telephones
might not ring. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the line.
Your organizer complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your telephone compa-
ny. Both numbers are on the bottom of
your organizer.
Note: You must not connect your orga-
nizer to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone sys-
tems

PREPARATION
3. Use a curved object such as a paper
clip to pry off the battery compart-
ment cover.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need four AAA batteries (not sup-
plied) to protect the organizer’s memory
during a power failure. For the longest
operation and best performance, we
recommend you use RadioShack alka-
line batteries.
4. Insert the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
5. Close the cover and secure it with
the screw. If you are replacing the
batteries, reconnect the phone line
and the phone.
• Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can damage your system.
When

appears, replace the bat-

• If you are
the batteries,
make sure the supplied AC adapter
is securely connected to an AC out-
let and to your organizer. Otherwise,
you might lose stored information.
CONNECTING THE AC
ADAPTER
You must connect the supplied AC
adapter to the organizer to power it.
Plug the AC adapter’s barrel plug into
the 9V DC jack on the back of the orga-
nizer, then plug the AC adapter into a
standard AC outlet.
Warning: Dispose of dead batteries
promptly and properly. Do not bury or
burn them.
Follow these steps to install the batter-
ies.
replacing
1. If you are
the batteries,
unplug both modular telephone line
cords from the back of the system.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
the screw in the battery compart-
ment cover.

set to positive and its plug must fit the
organizer's 9V DC jack. The supplied
adapter meets these specifications. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the orga-
nizer or the adapter.
The organizer connects to any modular
phone line jack and your phone. If your
telephone or line does not have modular
jacks, you can purchase the necessary
adapters at your local RadioShack
store. Or, you can have your local tele-
phone company update your wiring.
INITIALIZING THE
ORGANIZER
Notes:
• The USOC number of the jack to be
installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a
wall plate jack).
Initialize your organizer before you use it
the first time after connecting it to AC
power, or when you want to delete all
stored records, alarms, and the pass-
word.
• Your organizer dials using standard
touch tones. If you do not subscribe
to touch-tone service, you must
order this service from your local
telephone company.
Important: This procedure deletes all
stored information!
Follow these steps to connect the orga-
nizer to the phone line.
1. Use a pointed object such as a
straightened paper clip to press

CALLER ID
Caller ID is a service provided by your
telephone company. When you sub-
scribe to this service, 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 organizer re-
ceives and displays this information for
each call and updates the display with
the current date and time. When a call is
received, the date and time of the call
and the caller’s name and number ap-
pear. Your system saves up to 320 call
records, then replaces the oldest call
record with each new one.
Note: To use this system’s Caller ID
Call Waiting function, you must be in an
area where Caller ID and Call Waiting
service is available, and you must sub-
scribe to the service.
SETTING THE AREA
CODE
To dial a number from a Caller ID record
(see “Reviewing Call Records”), you

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack 256K Desktop Electronic Organizer with Caller/Call Waiting ID is
an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your organizer so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the organizer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the organizer only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the organizer away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the organizer gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the organizer to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your organizer’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the organizer with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the organizer.
Modifying or tampering with the organizer’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your organizer 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 can ask you to disconnect your organizer until you have resolved
the problem.
25
65-790.fm Page 26 Monday, November 29, 1999 3:59 PM
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your organizer
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can disconnect your
service. The phone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of your organizer. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take steps to
prevent interruption of your phone ser-
vice.
LIGHTNING
Your organizer has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone line or power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone line can
damage your organizer.
Lightning damage is not common. How-
ever, if you live in an area that has se-
vere electrical storms, we suggest you
unplug your organizer during storms to
reduce the possibility of damage.
