Radio Shack ET-182 User 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.
