Surge Protection

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 

telephone. Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has 

severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone when storms approach to 

reduce the possibility of damage.
