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. The phone
company normally attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company noti-
fies you as soon as possible and ad-
vises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, oper-
ations, 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 pre-
vent interruption of your phone ser-
vice.
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 and unplug your phone and discon-
nect the handset battery. 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 electri-
cal circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Ra-
dioShack store for help
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that may cause interfer-
ence 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
TVs or VCRs. If interference is experi-
enced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will
often reduce or eliminate the interfer-
ence.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-1016 has built-in lightning
protection to reduce the risk of dam-
age from surges in phone and power
line current. This protection meets or
exceeds FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, 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 damage.
