FEATURES
Your RadioShack System 933 79-Memory Caller ID with Call
Waiting, Illuminator Backlight and Dial Back is the latest in tele-
phone technology. The system displays the caller’s telephone
number (and name, if available in your area) and the current
date and time, 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.)
The System 933 stores and displays up to 79 multiple (name
and number) Caller ID records, and includes these features:
Easy Installation — the system easily connects to your tele-
phone line so you can quickly begin using it.
Bright Illuminator Backlight — the display lights when you
press any key, making it easy to view and change information
even in a dimly lit area.
Call Summary — displays the number of new calls, total num-
ber of calls you received, the phone number, date and time you
received the calls and the caller’s name.
Note: Check with your local phone company regarding name

New Call Indicator — flashes when you have at least one new
call you have not reviewed.
VIP Call List — lets you save up to 20 important call records
so they will not be deleted when you delete other calls from the
system’s memory.

FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your system to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. Howev-
er, each system (and each device, such as a telephone or
answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s
ringer equivalence number , or REN. The
REN is 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 tele-
phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, 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 on the
bottom of the system.
Note: You must not connect your 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 disconnect
your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
43-933.fm Page 7 Monday, August 16, 1999 2:59 PM

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the op-
eration 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.
Thisequipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice as specified in Part 15 of
FCC Rules . These limits provide
reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your equipment might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is operating properly. To elimi-
nate interference, you can try one or more of the following cor-
rective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the TV or radio’s receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the
radio or TV
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equip-
ment and the radio or TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem continues.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to protect the sys-
tem’s memory during a power failure. For the longest operation
and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batter-
ies (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
Notes:
• When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons
on the system after you remove the old batteries. Doing
so could erase all stored information.
