Care and Maintenance
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in lightning protection to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. This
lightning protection meets or exceeds FCC requirements. Howev-
er, lightning striking the telephone 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 suggest that you unplug
your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
