THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discon- tinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practi- cal, 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, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The tele- phone 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 in- terference 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 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 frequencies that might cause interfer- ence to nearby TVs and VCRs. To mini- mize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev- ertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of dam- age.
