FEATURES

Your RadioShack CID-941 4-Line Display Caller ID gives you access to the latest in telephone technolo- gy. It displays the current date/time and caller infor- mation as provided by your local phone company to Caller ID service subscribers. (The date and time are set with your first incoming Caller ID call.)

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller ID servic- es, the CID-941 also shows you information about an incoming call when you are on the phone ??? even if someone is using an extension on the same line.

The CID-941 includes these features:

Caller ID Memory ??? stores and displays up to 81 in- coming phone numbers, or up to 81 incoming names and phone numbers (actual capacity depends on the information sent).

Call Waiting ??? displays information about an incom- ing call when you are on the phone.

Total Call Count ??? lets you know how many calls are stored in memory.

3

43-941.fm Page 4 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

Caller ID Memory Dialing ??? lets you select a stored phone number from Caller ID memory, then dial it with the touch of a button.

New Call Indicator ??? flashes to let you know one or more new calls have been received since you last re- viewed the stored calls.

Dual Display ??? lar ge 4-line liquid crystal display shows information on the active call and Call Waiting at the same time, including the time the call came in.

Review Buttons ??? lets you scroll throu gh all call records in Caller ID memory.

Note: Your system requires two AA batteries (not supplied) to protect its memory.

Your system is ETL listed to UL standards and meets all applicable FCC standards.

4

43-941.fm Page 5 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

Important Information:

???To use the system???s Caller ID, and Call Waiting features you must be in an area where those services are available from your phone com- pany, and you must subscribe to those services.

???Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of the following options are generally available:

???caller???s number only

???caller???s name only

???caller???s name and number

For your CID-941???s Caller ID memory dial fea- ture to operate, you must receive the caller???s number.

Read This Before Installation

Your CID-941 conforms to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power

5

43-941.fm Page 6 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

draw as the device???s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your 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 (or three in rural areas), your phone might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a de- vice from the line.

FCC Statement

Your CID-941 complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registra- tion number and the REN to your telephone compa- ny. Both numbers are on the bottom of the CID-941.

Note: You must not connect your system to:

???coin-operated systems

???party-line systems

???most electronic key telephone systems

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your CID-941 requires 2 AA batteries (not supplied) to protect the system???s memory during a power fail- ure. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

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.

Note: When replacing the batteries, if you do not in- stall the new batteries within one minute after remov- ing the old ones, you will lose all information stored in the CID-941.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.If you are replacing the batteries, disconnect the CID-941 from the telephone line.

9

43-941.fm Page 10 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

2.Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the slot next to the battery compartment cover and gently pry it up until the cover pops off.

3.Place the batteries in the compartment as indi- cated by the polarity symbols (+ and ??? ) marked inside.

4.Replace the cover. If you replaced the batteries, reconnect the telephone line.

When appears replace the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the CID-941 with batteries for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy elec- tronic parts.

10

43-941.fm Page 11 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

Connecting an AC Adapter

To increase the battery life, you can power the CID- 941 using a 9V, 200 mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug??? adapter (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source

!listed to UL 1310 that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its cen-

ter tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit the CID-941's 200mA DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the CID-941 or the adapter.

???Always connect the AC adapter to the CID-941 before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the CID-941.

11

43-941.fm Page 12 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

Follow these steps to use an AC adapter (not sup- plied.)

1.Insert the Adaptaplug into the socket on your AC adapter???s cord.

2.Insert the barrel plug into the CID-941???s 200mA DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a stan- dard AC outlet.

Resetting the CID-941

Before you use the CID-941 for the first time, use a straightened paper clip to press RESET. About three seconds later, 12:00AM appears.

12

43-941.fm Page 13 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

Caution: Resetting the CID-941 also clears all stored call information.

Note: If the CID-941 does not work after you reset it, replace the batteries (see ???Installing Batteries??? on Page 9). Then press RESET again.

Connecting to the Phone Line

The CID-941 connects to a modular telephone line jack and your telephone. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular wall jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store, or have the tele- phone company update the wiring for you.

Notes:

???The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C (for a single-line phone) or RJ14C (for a two-line phone).

13

43-941.fm Page 14 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

???You can connect up to four CID-941s to the same phone line (see ???Using the Master/Sec- ondary Switch??? on Page 15). For proper Call Waiting operation, do not connect more than four CID-941s, or a CID-941 and another Caller ID module with Call Waiting, to the same phone line. You can connect other Caller ID systems without the Call Waiting function to the same phone line.

Connecting to a Single-Line Phone

1.Unplug your telephone???s modular cord from the wall jack, and plug it into the CID-941???s PHONE jack.

2.Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the CID-941???s TEL LINE jack.

3.Plug the other end of the cord into the wall jack.

14

43-941.fm Page 15 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

Using the Master/Secondary Switch

The CID-941???s M/S (master/secondary) switch lets you easily connect up to four CID-941 Caller ID mod- ules to the same phone line, so you can receive Call- er ID and Call Waiting information at more than one phone on that line. Simply set M/S on one of the CID- 941???s to M, and set it to S on all (up to three) others.

Notes:

???If you connect only one CID-941 to a phone line, set its M/S switch to M.

???If M/S on more than one (or none) of the CID- 941???s is set to M, incoming calls might be discon- nected.

???You can also connect other Caller ID modules that do not have the Call Waiting function to the same phone line as your CID-941???s, as long as the total number of Caller ID modules connected to the line does not exceed four.

15

43-941.fm Page 16 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

???If you connect another type of Caller ID module that has Call Waiting (other than a CID-941) to the same phone line as your CID-941???s, the Call Waiting signal can be garbled or not received.

Connecting to a Two-Line Phone

To record information about calls received on a two- line phone, you need two CID-941???s and an optional triplex adapter (available at your local RadioShack store). Each system only records information about calls received on the line to which it is connected.

Follow these steps to connect two systems to a two- line phone.

1.Unplug your telephone???s modular cord from the wall jack and plug it into L1+L2 on the triplex adapter.

2.Plug the triplex adapter into the wall jack.

3.Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the TEL LINE jack on one of the systems.

16

43-941.fm Page 17 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

4.Plug the other end of the cord into L1 or L2

5.Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to connect another CID- 941 to the jack (L1 and L2) on the triplex adapter.

6.Slide the M-S switch (located on the back of CID- 941) on both units to M.

Connecting an Answering Machine

1.Unplug the answering machine???s modular cord from its line jack, then plug the cord into the CID- 941???s TEL LINE jack.

2.Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the CID-941???s PHONE jack, then plug the other end of the cord into the answering machine???s line jack.

3.Set the answering machine to answer calls after at least two rings. This gives the CID-941 time to record the caller information that the phone com- pany sends between the first and second rings.

17

43-941.fm Page 18 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

OPERATION

RECEIVING AND STORING

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 sys- tem 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 available or if the number is blocked by the send- er.

Your CID-941 saves up to 81 call records (the most recent is 01), then replaces the oldest call with each new one.

When a new or repeat call from the same number comes in, NEW CALL and the red indicator flash, and the latest call information appear. After about 6 seconds, the call information is replaced by

22

43-941.fm Page 23 Friday, January 28, 2000 10:34 AM

the time display, but the red indicator flashes until you review the call records.

Note: If you have a phone that has a hold feature, we do not recommend using hold for very long. The Call- er ID information sent by the phone company might disconnect a caller on hold if a new call comes in.
