ET-502  (430-1005)             Maintenance             Faxback Doc. # 7120

Your ET-502 Cordless Telephone is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for your
phone so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the phone dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

  Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the phone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your phone 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 might ask you to
disconnect your 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.  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 the phone.
The phone company 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 your
phone.  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.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your phone.

LIGHTNING

Your phone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone line current.  These protection circuits meet or
exceed the FCC requirement.  However, lightning striking the phone 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.
