Care and Maintenance
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your
service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you
in advance. If advance notice is not practical, 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, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures 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 pre-
vent interruption of your telephone service.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine whether your phone is causing
the interference, turn off your phone. If the interference goes away,
your phone is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the inter-
ference by:
²
moving your phone away from the receiver
²
connecting your phone to an AC outlet that is on a different
electrical circuit from the receiver
²
contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using your phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not
be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.
