FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal
Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15
and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among
other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you
may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these
devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but
not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company.
Notes
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by
the telephone company.
Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may
not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on
a party line. Check with your local telephone company.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may
harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall,
where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable
and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company
must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;
(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3)
inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communica-
tions facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such
action is required in the operation of its business and not
inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes
are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone
equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice,
in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
