We have designed your telephone to conform to federal
regulations and you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device you connect to the phone
line draws power from it. This power draw is the devi ce’s
Ringer Equivalen ce Number
, or REN. The REN is shown
on the bottom of your phone.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on
the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more tha n five
(or three in rural areas), your phones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
If your phone causes problems on the phone line, the
telephone company can disconnect your service. The
phone company tries to noti fy you in advance . If advanc e
notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies
you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to
file a complaint with th e F CC.
The phone company can also make changes to its lines,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the phone’s operation. The phone company notifies you
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These
numbers are shown on the bottom of your phone.
Note:
You must not connect your telephone to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone systems
CARE
• Keep the phone dry.
• Handle the phone carefully. Do not drop it.
• Do not use or store the phone in temperature
extremes.
• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.
• Do not modify or tamper with the phone’ s int ernal com-
ponents. Doing so might invalidate the phone’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If
the phone is not operating as it should, take it to your
local Radio Shack store for assistance. If the tr ouble is
harming the phone lines, the phone company might
ask you to disconnect the telephone until you fix the
problem.
