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 determine whether your phone is causing the interference, turn off your phone. If the inter- ference goes away, your phone is causing it.

Try to eliminate the interference by:

•moving your phone away from the receiver

•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 fre- quencies 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. Neverthe- less, 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.

Your RadioShack 2.4 GHz Cordless Speak- erphone combines a 2.4 GHz digital cordless telephone unit and a digital TAD (Telephone Answering Device). The 2.4 GHz band means less interference, clearer sound, and greater range than other types of cordless telephones.

The TAD stores up to 18 minutes of messag- es on a computer chip and records each message’s day and time. This gives you ad- vanced capabilities over tape-based answer- ing machines:

•You can delete individual messages and save the rest.

•There are no tapes to bother with and no tape mechanisms to wear out.

The remote operation feature lets you oper- ate your TAD from a touch-tone phone (or from a rotary phone with an optional pocket tone dialer).
