ET-508 Cordless  (430-1015)    Care and Maintenance    Faxback Doc. # 16554
Telephone

Your ET-508 Cordless Telephone is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for your phone
so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the phone dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
    contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

    Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
    batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

    Handle the phone gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
    boards and cases, and can cause the phone to work improperly.

    Keep the phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
    of parts.

    Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
    Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
    clean it.

Modifying or tampering with the phone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your phone is not performing as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.  If the trouble is
affecting the phone lines, the phone company might ask you to disconnect
the phone until you have resolved the problem.

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.  If this
happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance.  If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible
and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations
or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone.  The
telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

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 your phone.  If the interference 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 outlet that is on a different electrical
    circuit from the receiver.
     Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone and power line currents.  These protection
circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.  However, lightning striking
the telephone lines or power lines can damage your telephone.

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