THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD caus-
es problems on the telephone line, the
telephone company attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company noti-
fies 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, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this TAD. The telephone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance so you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone service.
Your TAD complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in
Part 15 of
FCC Rules
. These limits pro-
vide reasonable protection against radio
and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your TAD might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly.
To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
radio or TV antenna.
• Increase the distance between the
TAD and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the TAD and the radio or
TV.
Consult your local Radio Shack store if
the problem still exists.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surg-
es in telephone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or ex-
ceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the TAD during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
