NFORMATION
Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the back 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 informa-
tion 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 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 con-
tact 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 equip-
ment 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 Digital Satellite
Receiver from your line.
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 communication facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such action is
required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. Of these
changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone com-
pany must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
