THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily discon-
tinue your service. The phone company
normally attempts to notify you in ad-
vance. 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 phone
company normally notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your phone 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 and unplug your phone and discon-
nect the handset battery. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your phone is causing
the interference.
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 Radio Shack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-1010 has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requirements. Howev-
er, lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your phone.
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.
