But if advance noticeisn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file acomplaint with the FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or proceduresthat could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance noticeso as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

GENERAL

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct theinterference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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 oron top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther awayfrom the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Any changes made by the user not approved by CASIO PHONEMATE can void the users authority tooperate the equipment.
