Radio Shack 43-3214 Owner's Manual

READ THIS FIRST

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal

regulations and you can connect it to most telephone

lines. However, each device you connect to the phone

line draws power from it. This power draw is the device’s

Ringer Equivalence Number

, or REN. The REN is shown

on the bottom of your phone.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on

the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five

(or three in rural areas), your phones might not ring. If

ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices

from the line. 

If your phone causes problems on the phone line, the

telephone company can disconnect your service. The

phone company tries to notify you in advance. If advance

notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies

you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to

file a complaint with the FCC.

The phone company can also make changes to its lines,

equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect

the phone’s operation. The phone company notifies you

in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to pre-

vent interruption of your phone service.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of 

FCC Rules

. You

must, upon request, provide the FCC registration num-

ber and the REN to your telephone company. These

numbers are shown on the bottom of your phone.

Note: You must not connect your telephone to:

• coin-operated systems

• party-line systems

• most electronic key phone systems

This telephone has been ETL tested and complies with

all FCC standards.

CARE

• Keep the phone dry.

• Handle the phone carefully. Do not drop it.

• Use and store the phone in normal temperature envi-

ronments.

• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.

• Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal com-

ponents can cause a malfunction and invalidate its

warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate

it. If the phone is not performing as it should, take it to

your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trou-

ble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company

can ask you to disconnect your telephone until you

have resolved the problem.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential dam-

ucts are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You

will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the

expiration of the warranty period.
