The FCC Wants You To Know

In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discon- tinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practi- cal, 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, 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 interrup- tion of your telephone service.

Lightning

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

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