Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation
of your TAD. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to
prevent interruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC require-
ments. However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines
can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you un-
plug your TAD during storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
