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.

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

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-  
replacing  
• 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.

65-790.fm Page 8 Monday, November 29, 1999 3:59 PM  
Caution: You must use a Class  
2 power source that supplies 9  
volts DC and delivers at least  
500 mA. Its center tip must be

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  
RESET on the bottom of your orga-

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.

er skips the area code if it matches the  
one you stored.

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.
