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:

Trilingual Messages — lets you set the system to display
messages in English, French, or Spanish.
REVIEW Buttons — let you easily scroll through all records
in Caller ID memory.
Mounting Options — you can place the system on a desk,
shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall.
This system has been tested and found to comply with all
applicable UL and FCC standards.
Notes:
• To use this system, you must be in an area where Call-
er ID service is available, and you must subscribe to the
service.
• Your System 2100 displays name only, number only, or
both name and number, depending upon the informa-
tion provided by the phone company.
We recommend you record your System 2100’s serial num-
ber here. The number is on the system’s bottom panel.

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
5
43-982.fm Page 6 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:01 PM
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.
18
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.
19
43-982.fm Page 20 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:01 PM
To review the call information, set L1/L2 to the line you want
to review. Repeatedly press REVIEW
to see the most re-
cent call records or
REVIEW to see older call records.
Notes:
• --END--appears after the last call record.
• When reviewing call records or using any other func-
tion, the system returns to the current date and time
about 20 seconds after you last press a key.

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.
25
43-982.fm Page 26 Monday, August 16, 1999 5:01 PM
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.
