to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives,
when taken out of service within the United States. The RBRCTM program
provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-cadmium
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which is illegal in some areas.
TACP’s payments to RBRCTM make it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers
of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries, or at authorized TACP product service centers. You
may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to return the spent battery.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
If the cordless telephone should malfunction, or need changes or modifications, all repairs will
be performed by an authorized Toshiba Service Station. This unit has been registered with the
FCC for direct connection to the telephone network. Under the FCC program, no customer is
authorized to repair this unit. This applies to a unit both in and out of warranty. If an unauthorized
repair is performed, the registration of the unit for direct connection to the network will be null
and void. If the unit is still in warranty, the remainder of the warranty period will also be null and
void.
It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to their Toshiba
dealer.
IMP ORTANT INSTRUCTIONS TO USERS
Your telephone has been designed and constructed to conform to federal regulations and can
be connected to the phone line as described in this manual.
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 in the 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.
F CC 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.
