FCC STATEMENT

Your fax machine complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon re- quest, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of your fax machine.

Note: You must not connect your fax machine to:

•Coin-operated systems

•Party-line systems

•Most electronic key phone sys- tems

Important: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlaw- ful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via telephone fax machine, unless the message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission:

•The date, time, identification of the business, individual, or other entity

•The telephone number of the sending machine.

To program this information into your fax machine, see Page 13.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your fax ma- chine causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can discon- nect your service. The phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies 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 your telephone equip- ment. The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

Your fax machine has built-in protec- tion circuits to reduce the risk of dam- age from surges in phone and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line or power lines can damage your fax machine.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has frequent electrical storms, we sug- gest that you unplug your fax machine during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.

TFX-1032 specifications

The Radio Shack TFX-1032 is a versatile desktop computer that made its mark in the early 1980s as part of the growing personal computer revolution. Designed for home and small office use, the TFX-1032 was notable for its combination of affordability and functionality, catering to tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike.

One of the main features of the TFX-1032 was its Intel 8088 processor, which offered a clock speed of 4.77 MHz. This was a crucial advancement at the time, enabling users to run basic software applications with greater efficiency. The TFX-1032 typically came with 64KB of RAM, which could be expanded up to 256KB, allowing users to enhance performance as their needs grew. For storage, it was equipped with a floppy disk drive, supporting 5.25-inch double-sided disks. This form of storage was common during its era, providing users with a means to save and transfer their data easily.

The TFX-1032 featured a unique, user-friendly keyboard design along with a color monitor that brought a level of interactivity and visuals that was appealing to users. The graphical capabilities, although modest by today’s standards, allowed for basic graphical applications and simple gaming experiences.

In terms of software, the TFX-1032 was capable of running MS-DOS, the operating system prevalent at the time. Users could leverage a variety of productivity tools, accounting programs, and educational software designed specifically for it. While the TFX-1032 did not possess advanced capabilities for graphics or sound compared to more modern systems, it was compatible with numerous peripherals, including printers and modems, thereby enhancing its usability.

The construction of the TFX-1032 featured a compact, robust design, which was practical for users who had limited desk space. Its aesthetic design was straightforward, characterized by a sturdy plastic casing in neutral colors popular during that period.

Overall, the Radio Shack TFX-1032 represented a significant step forward in making computing accessible to the general public. It captured the essence of early personal computing, allowing individuals and small businesses to harness the power of technology for various practical applications. Though it has long since been replaced by more advanced systems, its legacy remains as a testament to the innovative spirit of its time.
