Radio Shack TAD-1029 - Manual (Page 4)

4
We recommend you record the TAD’s
serial number here. The number is on
the bottom of the base.
Serial Number ________________
Important: Cordless phones such as
this one require AC power to operate.
When AC power is off, you cannot dial
out or receive incoming calls using your
TAD-1029. For this reason, the TAD-
1029 should not be your only telephone.
To be safe, you should also have a
phone that does not require AC power to
operate (not a cordless phone) so you
can still make and receive calls if there
is an AC power failure.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your TAD-1029 conforms to federal reg-
ulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
you connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We refer
to this power draw as the device’s
ringer
equivalence number, or REN. The REN
is on the label on the back of the base.
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phone might not ring and your answer-
ing system might not answer. In rural ar-
eas, a total REN of three might impair
ringer operation. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-1029 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC Registration Number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the label on the
back of the base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security
access-protection code prevents unau-
thorized use of your phone line, it is pos-
sible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conver-
sations and/or cause interference. This
lack of privacy can occur with any cord-
less phone.
