LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line and pow- er line current. This lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the tele- phone or power lines can damage your telephone.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we sug- gest you unplug your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
