Troubleshooting
We do not expect you have any problems with your telephone, but if you do, the following suggestions might help. If you
still have problems, check the other phones on the same line to see if they work properly. If they do, and the problem
does not seem to be with your phone service, take the phone to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE
Keep the phone dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store the phone only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the phone carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with
a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If
the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone
company can ask you to disconnect your phone until you
have resolved the problem.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your telephone company. Both numbers
are on the bottom of the telephone’s base.
Note:
You must not connect your telephone to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
