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 hap-
pens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone compa-
ny notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com-
plaint 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 telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent in-
terruption 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 inter-
ference. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:
• Moving your phone away from the
receiver
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different electri-
cal circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Radio
Shack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow-
er line current. These protection cir-
cuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik-
ing the telephone or power lines can
damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
