IF YOU HAVE
PROBLEMS
If your telephone is not performing as it
should, check the connection to the
telephone line. Calls are automatically
switched and routed through complex
equipment, so you might occasionally
hear noise on the line. When a call is
too noisy, hang up and redial the num-
ber.
If you still have problems, immediately
disconnect the telephone. If another
telephone on the same line works
properly, the fault is in this telephone
or its installation. If the trouble is harm-
ing the telephone lines, the telephone
company might ask you to disconnect
your telephone until you resolve the
problem.
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can temporarily
discontinue 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 this telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent in-
terruption of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in telephone line and pow-
er line current. These protection cir-
cuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning strik-
ing 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 sug-
gest that you unplug your phone during
storms to reduce the possibility of
damage.
