Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment
causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance
of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the
FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the
modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this
telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC.
