Radio Shack ET-518 - Manual (Page 21)

21
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 interference
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 Radio
Shack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.
LIGHTNING
Your phone has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the
FCC requirements. However, lightning
striking the phone lines can damage
your phone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
