Please note that each product connected to the telephone line places a certain load on the line. We designate this as the unit's "Ringer Equivalence Number." It is most unlikely, but . . . If your telephone should cause problems on the phone line, the phone company has the right to temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone company will notify you and give you the opportunity to correct the problem. Also, you need to know that the phone company does have the right to make changes in their lines and/or equipment. If these changes might affect your telephone (or require changes your telephone or its connection), the phone company will notify you in writing, so you will have the chance to take whatever action is necessary to ensure uninterrupted phone service. FCC REQUIREMENTS You are no longer required by the FCC to notify your local telephone company of your intent to connect a new telephone. Your local telephone company may call you and request information about your phone such as: the brand name, model number, registration number, and ringer equivalence number. This information is provided on a label located at the bottom of the base unit and handset. You may not directly connect your telephone to coin telephone services. Check with your local telephone company if you wish to connect your telephone to a party line service. Some party line services require a special adaptor or modification to your telephone. Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; to minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. 3 INTRODUCTION Toshiba America Consumer Products, Inc. takes pride in presenting this telephone, one of the finest digital spread spectrum cordless telephones available.
