Radio Shack FCC Statement, FCC Wants YOU to Know, Lightning, Important Safety Instructions

FCC STATEMENT

Your answering system complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. You must, upon re- quest, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.

You must not connect your system to any of the following:

•coin-operated systems

•party-line systems

•most electronic key phone systems

Note: Your telephone operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Even though the security access-protection code prevents unauthorized use of your phone line, it is possible for other radio units operating on similar frequencies within a cer- tain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations and/or cause interference. This lack of privacy can occur with any cord- less phone.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone com- pany can temporarily discontinue your ser- vice. 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 proce- dures 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 interrup- tion of your telephone service.

Your phone 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:

•Move the phone away from the receiver.

•Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the phone and the receiver.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your phone.

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. Neverthe- less, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your system when storms approach to re- duce the possibility of damage.
