THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. The phone
company normally attempts to notify
you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company no-
tifies you as soon as possible and ad-
vises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, op-
erations, or procedures that could af-
fect the operation of this telephone.
The phone company normally noti-
fies you of these changes in ad-
vance, so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your phone service.

This equipment complies with the
limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of

FCC Rules.

These limits provide reasonable pro-
tection against radio and TV interfer-
ence in a residential area. However,
your equipment might cause TV or
radio interference even when it is op-
erating properly.

To eliminate interference, you can try
one or more of the following correc-
tive measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiv-

ing antenna

• Increase the distance between

the equipment and the radio or
TV

• Use outlets on different electrical

circuits for the equipment and
the radio or TV

Consult your local Radio Shack store
if the problem still exists.

LIGHTNING

Your phone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone line current.
These protection circuits meet or ex-
ceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone lines can
damage your phone.

Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area
which has severe electrical storms,
we suggest that you unplug your
phone during storms to reduce the
possibility of damage.
