System 1250

Caller ID Telephone

with Call Waiting ID


FEATURES

Your RadioShack System 1250 Caller

ID Telephone combines a telephone and a Caller ID unit in one system. It shows 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 updated with each incoming call). It saves up to 60 Caller ID records that you can review and call back.

And, if you have Call Waiting with Caller

ID, the System 1250 shows you the incoming caller information, even when you are already on the phone.

Your System 1250 has these features:

3-Line Liquid Crystal Display — lets you view an entire Caller ID record on one screen.

Caller ID Memory — stores up to 60

Caller ID records with name and number or name only, depending on the information your phone company provides.

Call Waiting ID — displays Caller ID information about an incoming call when you are on the phone (if you subscribe to this service from your local phone company).

New Call Indicator — lets you see at a glance that you have new calls.

Trilingual — displays Caller ID messages in English, French, or Spanish.

20-Number Memory Dialing — you can store up to 20 numbers in memory for easy dialing.

Headset Jack — lets you connect an optional headset (available at your local

RadioShack store) for hands-free convenience.

Volume Control — lets you adjust the volume of the sound you hear through the handset.

Redial — lets you quickly redial the last number dialed.

Flash — sends an electronic switchhook signal for use with special phone services such as Call Waiting.

Hold — lets you put a call on hold.

Adjustable Ringer Volume — lets you set the ringer to low or high, or even turn it off.

Review Scrolling — lets you easily scroll through all records in Caller ID memory.

Callback — lets you dial the phone number in a Caller ID record with the touch of a button.

Programmable Area Codes — lets you store your local area code and up to two others for easy local callback.

READ THIS BEFORE

INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line.

We refer to this power draw as the phone’s

ringer equivalence number

, or

REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs.

If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total

REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of

FCC Rules

. Upon request, you must provide the phone’s FCC registration number and REN to your telephone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.

Note: You must not connect your telephone to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key phone systems

PREPARATION

INSTALLING A BACKUP

BATTERY

You can install an optional 9V backup battery so if the AC power fails or you unplug the phone ( appears), the System 1250 will save the memory numbers and Caller ID records. We recommend you use an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.

Follow these steps to install a battery.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery compartment cover’s screw on the bottom of the system, then remove the cover.

2. Place a fresh battery into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.

The System 1250 automatically tests the battery each time it receives a call. If

appears or the display dims, replace the battery.

Important: You must install the fresh battery within 2 minutes after removing the old battery. Otherwise, you might lose the information stored in the phone’s memory.

Cautions:

• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

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


MOUNTING THE PHONE

You can place the phone on a desk or table, mount it on a standard wall plate, or mount it directly on a wall.

Select a location that is:

• Near an AC outlet

• Near a modular phone line jack

• Out of the way of normal activities

Notes:

• Your telephone connects directly to a modular phone line jack. If your phone line jack is not a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available from your local RadioShack store. Or, you can let the telephone company update the wiring for you.

• The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C, or RJ11W for a wall plate jack.

Caution: The supplied AC adapter was designed specifically for your System

1250. Use only the supplied adapter.

On a Desk

1. Remove the mounting bracket by holding in the tab on the right side of the bracket and gently pulling out the bracket.

2. Plug one end of the supplied long modular cord into the phone jack on the back of the phone.

4. To keep a record of each stored number, use a flat-blade screwdriver to lift the plastic cover from the telephone number index card. Write the name on the index card. For easy reference, you can use the shaded areas for lower memory numbers and the blank areas for upper memory numbers. Use a pencil in case you want to change it later.

Chain-Dialing

For quick recall of numbers for special services (such as bank-by-phone or alternate long-distance), you can store each group of numbers in its own memory location. Then, when calling special services, dial the service’s main number first. At the appropriate place in the call, press the memory location button for the additional numbers you want to send.

Entering a Pause in a Memory

Number

In some telephone systems, you must dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. You can store the access code with the phone number; however, you should also store a pause after the access code to allow the outside line time to connect. To do so, press REDIAL to enter a 2-second pause.

P

(pause) appears. For a longer pause, press REDIAL again.

Note: Each pause entry uses one digit of memory.

Testing Stored Emergency

Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire department, ambulance) and you want to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods.

• The System 1250 returns to the time/date display after 15 seconds if you do not press a key.

USING CALLBACK

You must store your home area code for

Callback to work correctly (see “Setting the Area Codes” on Page 11). If the call came from your home area code, the display shows only the seven-digit number (without an area code). When you press CALLBACK , the phone dials the seven displayed digits.

However, you can also store up to two other local area codes. These are area codes that do not require you to dial a

“1” first. If the call came from one of these stored area codes, the display shows the ten-digit number (three digits of area code plus seven digits of phone number). When you press CALLBACK , the phone dials the ten displayed digits, without inserting a “1” before the area code.

If you receive a call from an area code not stored in the phone, the display shows eleven digits (“1” plus the area code plus the phone number). When you press CALLBACK , the phone dials the eleven displayed digits.

Follow these steps to call back any number stored in a Caller ID record.

1. Lift the handset (or press HEADSET if you are using a headset).

2. Repeatedly press REVIEW s or t to select the Caller ID record that contains the number you want to call.

21


CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack System 1250 Caller ID Telephone is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your System 1250 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the System 1250 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the System 1250 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the System 1250 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Handle the System 1250 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the System 1250 to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your System 1250’s electronic parts.

Wipe the System 1250 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the System 1250.

Modifying or tampering with the System 1250’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your System 1250’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your System 1250 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 System 1250 until you have resolved the problem.

22


THE FCC WANTS YOU TO

KNOW

In the unlikely event that your telephone causes problems on the telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect your service. The telephone company normally attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the

FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line current.

These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone 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 your telephone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.

23
