LIGHTNING
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone and power line current. These pro-
tection circuits meet or exceed the FCC re-
quirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has frequent
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your telephone when storms approach to re-
duce the possibility of damage.
