FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. Upon request, you must provide the phone’s FCC registration number and REN to your telephone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.

Note: You must not connect your telephone to:

•coin-operated systems

•party-line systems

•most electronic key phone systems

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 pre- vent such interference, the base of the cord- less telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in lightning protec- tion to reduce the risk of damage from surg- es in telephone line and power line current. This lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. However, lightning strik- ing 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 during storms to reduce the pos- sibility of damage.
