Your Radio Shack TAD-1010 900 MHz Digital Cordless Telephone with Digital
Multi-User Answering System is an example of superior design and crafts-
manship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TAD-1010 so
you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the TAD-1010 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
    circuits.

    Handle the TAD-1010 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
    circuit boards and cases and can cause the TAD-1010 to work improperly.

    Use and store the TAD-1010 only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
    distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the TAD-1010 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the TAD-1010 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the TAD-1010.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1010's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authori-
zation to operate it.  If your TAD-1010 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 can 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.  The phone
company normally 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 phone company normally 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 and unplug your phone and disconnect the handset battery.  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 AC outlet that is on a different electrical
    circuit from the receiver.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-1010 has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone and power line current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requirements.  However, lightning striking the phone line or
power lines can damage your phone.

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.
