Radio Shack 43-472 Owner's Manual

READ THIS FIRST

We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regu-

lations and you can connect it to most telephone lines. How-

ever, 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 tele-

phone 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 prevent

interruption of your phone service.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of 

FCC Rules

. You

must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number 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 environ-

ments.

• Keep the phone away from dust and dirt.

Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components

can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty and void

your FCC authorization to operate it. If the phone is not per-

forming as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for

assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the

phone company can ask you to disconnect your phone until

you have resolved the problem.
