THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD-779 causes problems on the telephone line, the telephone company can temporarily discontinue your service. If this hap- pens, the telephone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance no- tice is not practical, the telephone com- pany 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 TAD. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can take the neces- sary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone services.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD-779 has built-in protection cir- cuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. How- ever, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev- ertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug the TAD-779 during storms to reduce the possibility of dam- age.
