THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. 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, operations, or proce-
dures 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
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your TAD during storms to reduce the possi-
bility of damage.
