Teledex B150D manual What the FCC Wants YOU to Know, Lightning, Requirements of Part 68- FCC Rules

NOTICES AND REQUIREMENTS

–Use and store the B150D only in normal temperature environments. Extreme temperatures can shorten the life of electronic components, and distort or melt plastic parts.

–Keep the telephone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wearing of parts.

–Handle the B150D gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage internal circuit boards and components, causing the phone to work improperly.

–Wipe the B150D with a damp cloth occasionally to remove dust and dirt.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the telephone.

–Modifying or tampering with internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the warranty, as well as void your FCC authorization to operate the telephone. If your B150D is not performing as it should, see your dealer for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the telephone company or service provider may ask you to disconnect your telephone until the problem is resolved.

28) WHAT THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your B150D causes problems on the phone line, the tele- phone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens, the tele- phone company attempts 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.

Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The telephone com- pany notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

29) LIGHTNING

Your B150D has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or power 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.
