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

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 radio
and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your TAD might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly.

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

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

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 has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surg-
es in telephone line and power line cur-
rent. These protection circuits meet or
exceed the FCC requirements. Howev-
er, lightning striking the telephone 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.
