only telephone. To be safe, you should also
have a phone that does not require AC pow-
er to operate (not a cordless phone) so you
can still make and receive calls if there is an
AC power failure.
Some cordless phones operate at frequen-
cies that might cause interference to nearby
TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless phone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV
or VCR.
Your telephone operates on standard radio
frequencies as allocated by the FCC. Even
though the access protection code prevents
unauthorized use of your phone line, it is
possible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area to
unintentionally intercept your conversations
and/or cause interference. This lack of priva-
cy can occur with any cordless phone.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
The phone complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device as specified in Part 15
of FCC Rules. These limits provide reason-
able protection against radio and TV interfer-
ence 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
equipment 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.
Lightning
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. 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.
