FEATURES  
Your RadioShack System 2100 2-Line Caller ID with 64-Call  
Memory is the latest in telephone technology, providing Call-  
er ID information for two phone lines. When you subscribe to  
Caller ID service, the telephone company sends the caller’s  
name and telephone number (if available), the date, and the  
time of the call between the first and second rings. The Sys-  
tem 2100 stores and displays up to 64 Caller ID records per  
phone line, which have either a number or a name, or both.  
The system’s callback feature lets you dial a caller’s number  
with the press of a single button. Its other features include:

FCC INFORMATION  
We have designed your System 2100 to conform to federal  
regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines.  
However, each system (and each device, such as a tele-  
phone or answering machine) that you connect to the tele-  
phone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power  
draw as the device’s ringer equivalence number or REN.  
The REN is shown on a label on the bottom of the system.  
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the  
line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five,  
your telephone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of  
three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is im-  
paired, remove a device from the line.  
Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,  
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the  
REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are shown  
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

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on  
the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discon-  
tinue your service. If this happens, the phone company at-  
tempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not  
practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possi-  
ble and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC.  
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines,  
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of this system. The telephone company notifies you  
of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary  
steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.  
This 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 operating properly. To  
eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the follow-  
ing corrective measures.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
• Increase the distance between the System 2100 and  
the radio or TV  
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem contin-  
ues.

PREPARATION  
INSTALLING BATTERIES/SETUP  
You need eight AAA batteries (not supplied) to power the  
system. For the longest operation and best performance, we  
recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No.  
23-558.  
Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-  
mended type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of bat-  
teries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or re-  
chargeable batteries of different capacities.  
Follow these steps to install batteries and select the display  
language, area code, year, day, date, and time.  
Note:  
To change any of the settings (for example, area code  
or year), you must start from Step 1.

CONNECTING THE SYSTEM  
Connecting to the Phone Line  
The System 2100 connects to your phone and phone line  
using four modular telephone line connectors. If your phone  
line does not have a modular jacks, you can update the wir-  
ing yourself using adapters available at your local Ra-  
dioShack store. Or, you can have the telephone company  
update your telephone wiring for you.  
Notes:  
• If you connect the system to only one phone line, the  
system displays Caller ID information for only that line.  
• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C  
(for a single-line phone jack) or RJ14C (for a two-line  
phone jack).  
The following illustrations show the possible connections,  
depending on your telephone and phone line setup:

OPERATION  
RECEIVING CALLS  
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company.  
When you subscribe 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 system receives and displays this information for  
each call and updates the display with the current date and  
time. The display also shows if caller information is not avail-  
able or if the number is blocked by the sender (see “Dis-  
played Call Information” on Page 21).  
CALLflashes during a new incoming call, the LINE indicator  
flashes, and the call record shows for 20 seconds, then the  
number of new calls and NEW CALLappear. The LINE indi-  
cator shows which line the call came in on and flashes until  
you review a call (see “Reviewing Call Records” on  
Page 19).  
Note:  
If you have a phone that has a hold feature, we do not  
recommend using hold for very long. The Caller ID informa-  
tion sent by the phone company might disconnect a caller  
on hold if a new call comes in.  
If you have voice-mail message waiting (if you subscribe to  
the telephone company’s message waiting service), NEW  
CALL and MESSAGE WAITING appear on the display.  
MESSAGE WAITING remains on the display until you re-  
trieve the message.

43-982.fm Page 19 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:01 PM  
In some areas, callers have the option of blocking the send-  
ing of their Caller ID information. When a caller has blocked  
Caller ID, the system displays PRIVATECALL instead of  
the call information.  
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS  
Each time you receive a call, your system saves a call  
record in memory that you can review later, even while you  
are on the phone. Your system saves up to 64 call records  
for each connected phone line, then (for subsequent calls) it  
replaces the oldest call record with each new one.  
A stored call record includes:  
• Call number (order the call is received)  
• Time and date of the call  
• Caller’s telephone number (if available)  
• Caller’s name (if available)  
Note:  
The display shows up to 10 digits of the phone num-  
ber. If the incoming phone number is longer than 10 digits,  
the display shows only the last 10 digits.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack System 2100 2-Line Caller ID with 64-Call  
Memory is an example of superior design and craftsman-  
ship. The following suggestions will help you care for the  
System 2100 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the System 2100 dry. If it gets wet,  
wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain  
minerals that corrode electronic circuits.  
Use and store the System 2100 only in nor-  
mal temperature environments. Tempera-  
ture extremes can shorten the life of  
electronic devices, damage batteries, and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the System 2100 gently and careful-  
ly. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards  
and can cause the System 2100 to work im-  
properly.  
Wipe the System 2100 with a damp cloth oc-  
casionally to keep it looking new. Do not use  
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or  
strong detergents to clean the System 2100.

Modifying or tampering with the System 2100’s internal  
components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate  
its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If  
your System 2100 is not performing as it should, take it to  
your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is  
harming the telephone lines, the telephone company might  
ask you to disconnect the System 2100 until you have re-  
solved the problem.  
LIGHTNING  
This system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk  
of damage from surges in telephone line 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 telephone.  
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live  
in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that  
you unplug the System 2100 during storms to reduce the  
possibility of damage.
