Your Radio Shack ET-274 Desk/Wall Compact Phone is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care
for your telephone so you can enjoy it for years.

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

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

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the telephone's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate your telephone's warranty.  If your
telephone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio
Shack store.  Our personnel can assist you and arrange for service if
needed.

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.

LIGHTNING

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

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