phone company can ask you to disconnect your system until you have resolved the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily disconnect your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip- ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your system. The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take steps to prevent interrup- tion of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

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

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you un- plug your system during storms to reduce the possibility of dam- age.
