Troubleshooting

Handle the system carefully; do not drop it. Keep the system 
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth 
occasionally to keep it looking new.

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

FCC STATEMENT

Your system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, 
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the 
REN to your phone company. Both numbers are on the bottom 
of your system.

Note: You must not connect your system to:

• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital 
device as specified in Part 15 of the 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 
eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following 
corrective measures:

• Reorient or relocate the TV or radio’s receiving antenna.
