THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that the ET-196
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. If this happens, the
phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practi-
cal, the phone company notifies 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, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this unit. 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 Telephone Headset might cause
TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine wheth-
er your Telephone Headset is causing
the interference, disconnect the Tele-
phone Headset. If the interference goes
away, your Telephone Headset is caus-
ing the interference. Try to eliminate the
interference by:
• Moving the Telephone Headset
away from the TV or radio
• Contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
LIGHTNING
Most telephones have built-in lightning
protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line
and power line current. However, light-
ning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your phone and the
Telephone Headset connected to it.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone and the
Telephone Headset during storms to re-
duce the possibility of damage.
