THE FCC WANTS YOU TO

KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD-704 causes problems on the telephone line, the telephone company can disconnect your service. The telephone company normally attempts to notify you in ad- vance. 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, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The tele- phone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-704 has built-in protection cir- cuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone lines can damage your telephone and the TAD-704.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev- ertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your telephone during storms to reduce the possibility of dam- age.
