THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely event that your TAD-779
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this hap-
pens, the telephone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the telephone com-
pany notifies you as soon as possible
and advises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this TAD. The telephone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance so you can take the neces-
sary steps to prevent interruption of your
telephone services.

LIGHTNING

Your TAD-779 has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed the FCC requirements. How-
ever, lightning striking the telephone or
power lines can damage your TAD.

Lightning damage is not common. Nev-
ertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest
that you unplug the TAD-779 during
storms to reduce the possibility of dam-
age.
