Fcc Statement - Radio Shack 43-3812 Owner's Manual

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of the
FCC Rules . Upon request, you must provide
the phone's FCC registration number and
REN to your telephone company. These
numbers are on the bottom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your telephone
to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
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. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the operation of
this telephone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone 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
interference by:
• moving your phone away from the
receiver
22
• connecting your phone to an AC outlet
that is on a different electrical circuit
from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack store
for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your
phone.
Some cordless telephones operate on
frequencies that might cause interference 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 a TV or VCR.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest that you
unplug your phone when storms approach to
reduce the possibility of damage.
