FCC and Phone Company Information
Your telephone company is required by the Federal Communications Commission to
allow you to connect FCC registered telephones to their lines. The FCC requires you to
provide information, if requested by the local telephone company, about the connection
of an FCC registered telephone to their lines. They may ask you for the FCC
registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN); both are at the bottom
of the base. They may also ask for the Universal Service Order Code (USOC), which is
the RJ-11C.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive REN’s on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to the line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company shall, where practical, 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; (3) inform you of your right to bring a
complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in of Part 68 of FCC
Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business
and not consistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to
affect the use of performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company
must give you adequate notice in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service.
Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by (state party responsible for
compliance) can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
