IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY
This telephone system is judged to be hearing aid compatible per
FCC/DOC standards.
FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your GE telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Com­
munications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15J and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1.
Notification to the Locai Teiephone 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, pro­
vide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all these 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 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may con­
nect 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 pro­
vided 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 par­
ty 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 Teiephone Company.
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm
the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where prac­
ticable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the cir­
cumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may tem­
porarily discontinue service immediately. In cetse of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify
you of such temporary discontinuance, (2) afford you the oppor­
tunity 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 incon­
sistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are ex­
pected 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.
