Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation
of the phone. The phone company notifies you of these chang-
es in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your phone 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 it. Try to eliminate the inter-
ference 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 a radio/TV technician or your local RadioShack
store for help

LIGHTNING

Your phone has built-in protection circuit to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in phone line current. These protection cir-
cuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning
striking the phone 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 un-
plug your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
