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 hap- pens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance no- tice is not practical, the phone compa- ny notifies you as soon as possible and advises 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 this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent in- terruption 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 the inter- ference. Try to eliminate the interfer- ence by:

Moving your phone away from the receiver

Connecting your phone to an AC outlet that is on a different electri- cal circuit from the receiver

Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, 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 pow- er line current. These protection cir- cuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning strik- ing 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 sug- gest that you unplug your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
