THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD-764 causes problems on the telephone line, the telephone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this hap- pens, the telephone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance no- tice is not practical, the telephone com- pany notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this TAD. The tele- phone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

Your TAD complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro- vide reasonable protection against ra- dio and TV interference in a residential area. However, your TAD might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:

•Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna of the radio or TV antenna.

•Increase the distance between the TAD and the radio or TV.

•Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the TAD and the radio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-764 has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the tele- phone or power lines can damage your TAD.

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