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 Ra- dioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your phone.
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 a TV or VCR.
