THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. 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, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures 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 prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your phone is causing the
interference, turn off your phone. If the inter-
ference goes away, your phone is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
• connecting your phone to an AC outlet
that is on a different electrical circuit
from the receiver 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 fre-
quencies that might 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.
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.

Features
Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Speak-
erphone combines a 2.4 GHz digital cordless
telephone unit and a digital TAD (Telephone
Answering Device). The 2.4 GHz band
means less interference, clearer sound, and
greater range than other types of cordless
telephones.
The TAD stores up to 18 minutes of messag-
es on a computer chip and records each
message’s day and time. This gives you ad-
vanced capabilities over tape-based answer-
ing machines:
• You can delete individual messages and
save the rest.
• There are no tapes to bother with and no
tape mechanisms to wear out.
The remote operation feature lets you oper-
ate your TAD from a touch-tone phone (or
from a rotary phone with an optional pocket
tone dialer).
