THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD caus- es problems on the telephone line, the telephone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company noti- fies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this TAD. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance so you can take the neces- sary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone services.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surg- es in telephone and power line current. These protection circuits meet or ex- ceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone 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 the TAD during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
