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.
