THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company no-
tifies you as soon as possible 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 proce-
dures 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 interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
This equipment complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in Part 15
of the
FCC Rules. These limits provide rea-
sonable protection against radio and TV inter-
ference in a residential area. However, your
equipment might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly. To
eliminate interference, you can try one or
more of the following corrective measures:
• reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• increase the distance between the equip-
ment and the radio or TV
• use outlets on different electrical circuits
for the equipment and the radio or TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if the
problem still exists.
You must use shielded interface cables with
this equipment.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protec-
tion to reduce the risk of damage from surges
in telephone line and power line current. This
lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC re-
quirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your phone when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.
