THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD
causes 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
practical, 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 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.
