THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily dis-
continue 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, 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 in-
terference 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 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 electri-
cal 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
frequencies that might cause interfer-
ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To min-
imize 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 lightning
protection to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow-
er line current. This lightning protection
meets or exceeds FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the tele-
phone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
