Fcc Statement; Read This Before Installation - Radio Shack TAD-1015 Owner's Manual

Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using
your TAD-1015. For this reason, the
TAD-1015 should not be your only
telephone. To be safe, you should
also have a phone that does not re-
quire AC power to operate (not a cord-
less phone) so you can still make and
receive calls if there is an AC power
failure.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your telephone conforms to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each
device you connect to the phone line
draws power from the phone line. We
refer to this power draw as the de-
vice's ringer equivalence number , or
REN. The REN is on the label on the
back of the base.
If you are using more than one phone
or other device on the line, add up all
the RENs. If the total is more than five,
your phone might not ring and your
answering system might not answer.
In rural areas, a total REN of three
might impair ringer operation. If ringer
operation is impaired, remove a de-
vice from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68
of FCC Rules . You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC Registration
Number and the REN to your phone
company. These numbers are on the
label on the back of the base.
You must not connect your phone to
any of the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone sys-
tems
Note: Your telephone operates on
standard radio frequencies, as allocat-
ed by the FCC. Even though the secu-
rity access-protection code prevents
unauthorized use of your phone line, it
is possible for other radio units operat-
ing on similar frequencies within a cer-
tain area to unintentionally intercept
your conversations and/or cause inter-
ference. This lack of privacy can occur
with any cordless phone.
