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 and unplug your phone and discon-
nect the handset battery. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your phone is
causing the interference.

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 electri-
cal circuit from the receiver

• Contacting your local RadioShack

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 FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik-
ing 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.
