Works Great with 6V Pwr Supply wired in

Cons

    Best Uses

      Comments about RadioShack Caller ID/Call-Waiting ID with Backlit Display:

      I used the suggestions from others on this site and soldered in a 6v power supply. I used an old power supply from an AT&T telephone dock. Just make sure you have the polarity right when connecting the power supply to the unit. Use a DC voltmeter and it's pretty easy. If you use this unit with batteries, get ready to buy a lot of batteries, because it uses them up very fast.

          Its fine if you take it apart, and solder in to the battery wires inside the unit, a seaparate 6 volts DC power supply, then you never need to use batteries again

          I purchased from Radio Shack the :
          AC-to-DC Power adaptor (for the Caller ID) 6 V. DC 300 MA. by Enercell No. 273-313 ; UPC#0 40293 70931 0 (Positive polarity) Radio Shack No. 2730313

          Its excelent, no longer the need for bateries

          Comments about RadioShack Caller ID/Call-Waiting ID with Backlit Display:

          I have an older model with AC power. I will NOT buy the new model unless it is configured to run on AC power. The old model has worked VERY well for several years. I need something for other phone lines. Unless the 43-3903 is configured for AC power, I will take my business elsewhere.

            After reading the reviews, I hesitated in buying this item but since they have a liberal return policy, I gave it a try. It works fine. It gives the identity of the caller and the number they are calling from. I am keeping it because it does what I hoped it would.

                    The size and features were nice but it only worked for a day and then stopped. It was simple to use and nicely lit but thats all. This is the third product I've gotten from Radio Shack that didn't work for long. Usually just after you get rid of the packaging. This is my last purchase from Radio Shack, I'm afraid their stuff is going downhill.

                          This is a poorly designed product which chews through batteries.

                          The "adjustable, backlit display" is not adjustable for brightness. though it does swivel. The controls are not intuitive at all.

                                The sticky on the front of the display showed nice large characters on a bright green background. It'll be a washed out display on a pale blue-green background. Increasing the contrast will only result in 888-888-8888 displays.
                                I tried a bunch of things to get this to work. I really wanted it to. But no, it goes back to the store tomorrow.
