Your Radio Shack TAD-266 Cordless Phone with Remote Control Microcassette
Telephone Answering System is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for your TAD
so you can enjoy it for years.

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

    Use and store your TAD only in normal temperature environment. 
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices are
    distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the TAD's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty  If your TAD is not
performing as it should take it to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD 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 the TAD.  The
phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take
the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone 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 phone interference by:

    Moving it away from the receiver

    Connecting it to an AC outlet that is on a different electrical
    circuit from the receiver

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help

If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company might ask
you to disconnect your TAD until you resolve the problem.

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

LIGHTNING

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

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