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 advis-
es 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 pre-
vent interruption of your phone service.
This equipment complies with the lim-
its for a Class B digital device as spec-
ified in Part 15 of FCC Rules . These
limits provide reasonable protection
against radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your equip-
ment might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating
properly.
To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following corrective
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna
• Increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV
Consult your local Radio Shack store if
the problem still exists.

LIGHTNING

Your phone has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik-
ing the phone lines can damage your
phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area
which has severe electrical storms, we
suggest that you unplug your phone
during storms to reduce the possibility
of damage.
