LIGHTNING

Your system has built-in protection circuits to re-
duce the risk of damage from surges in telephone
and power line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power lines can
damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless,
if you live in an area that has severe electrical
storms, we suggest that you unplug the tele-
phone system during storms to reduce the possi-
bility of damage.
