THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD caus- es problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discon- nect 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 your TAD. The phone com- pany notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take steps to pre- vent interruption of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surg- es in phone and power line current. These protection circuits meet or ex- ceed FCC requirements. However, light- ning striking the phone line or power lines can damage your TAD.

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