THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can disconnect your service. The phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance no- tice is not practical, the phone company notifies you of your right to file a com- plaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of your system. The phone company notifies you in ad- vance, so you can take steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

Your system has built-in protection cir- cuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in phone and power line current. These protection circuits meet or ex- ceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone or power lines can damage your system.

Lightning damage is not common. How- ever, if you live in an area that has fre- quent electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
