Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this tele-

of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone 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 tele-
phone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an
area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your phone during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
