Care
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.
