THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your telephone
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company can disconnect
your service. The telephone company
normally attempts to notify you in ad-
vance. If advance notice is not practical,
the telephone company notifies 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 telephone. The tele-
phone company notifies you of these
changes in advance so you can take the
necessary steps to prevent interruption
of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line current.
These protection circuits meet or ex-
ceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone lines can
damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug your telephone during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
