SURGE PROTECTION
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of
damage
from surges in telephone line and power line current. 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.
SETUP
Your telephone connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If
your
telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the
wiring
yourself using jacks and adapters, or have the telephone company
update
the wiring for you.
Note: The CSA number of the jack to be installed is CA11C (or
CA11W for
a wall plate jack).
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone
line, be sure that installing the telephone does not disable your alarm
equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment,
contact
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
