THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
disconnect your service. If this hap-
pens, the phone company attempts to
notify you as soon as possible and ad-
vises you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of the phone. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take the neces-
sary 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 the inter-
ference. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:
• Moving your phone away from the
TV or radio receiver.
• Connecting your phone to an AC
outlet that is on a different circuit
from the TV or radio receiver.
• Contacting
your
Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your phone has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone line 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.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
