Your Radio Shack TAD-1006 Digital Answering System Telephone with Time/Day
Stamp is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following
suggestions will help you care for the TAD-1006 so you can enjoy it for
years.

  Keep the TAD-1006 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Handle the TAD-1006 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
  boards and can cause the TAD-1006 to work improperly.

  Use and store the TAD-1006 only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
  distort or melt plastic parts.

  Keep the TAD-1006 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

  Wipe the TAD-1006 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1006's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.  If your TAD-1006 is not
performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.  If the trouble is effecting the phone line, the phone company
might ask you to disconnect your TAD-1006 until you have resolved the
problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD-1006 causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily disconnect 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 your TAD-1006.
The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take
steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-1006 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 TAD-1006.

Lightning damage is not common.  Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your TAD-1006
during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
