Telephone Company and F.C.C.
Requirements and Responsibilities
1. Notification to the Telephone Company
Customers, before connecting terminal equipment to the telephone network, shall
upon request of the Telephone Company, inform the Telephone Company of the
particular line(s) to which such connection is made, the F.C.C. registration number
(see the label on the bottom of the unit) and ringer equivalence number (REN) of the
registered terminal equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
2. Connection to Telephone Line
This
unit must not be connected to a coin operated line. If you are on a party line,
check with your local telephone company.
3. Incidence of Harm to the Telephone Lines
Should terminal equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practical, notify the customer that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required.
However, where prior notice is not practical, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service forthwith, if such action is reasonable in the circumstances. In
case of such unnotified temporary discontinuance of service, the telephone company
