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 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 the phone. The phone company notifies you of these chang- es in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup- tion of your phone 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 interference. Try to eliminate the inter- ference 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 a radio/TV technician or your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your phone.
