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. The phone company normally attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company noti- fies you as soon as possible and ad- vises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, oper- ations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The phone company normally notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to pre- vent interruption of your phone ser- vice.

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 and unplug your phone and discon- nect the handset battery. 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 electri- cal circuit from the receiver
•Contacting your local Ra- dioShack store for help
Some cordless telephones operate on frequencies that may cause interfer- ence 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 TVs or VCRs. If interference is experi- enced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interfer- ence.
