THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
disconnect your service. If this hap-
pens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone compa-
ny notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your TAD. The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take steps to
prevent interruption of your phone ser-
vice.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone and power line cur-
rent. These protection circuits meet or
exceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone line or pow-
er lines can damage your TAD.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your TAD during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
