TELEPHONE COMPANY INTERFACE INFORMATION

TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Except for telephone company provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made through
standard plugs and standard telephone company provided jacks or equivalent in such a manner as to allow for
immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that if the plug connected
thereto is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the customer's premises, which remains
connected to the telephone network, shall occur by reason of such withdrawal.
INCIDENCE OF HARM
Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry 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 if such action is deemed reasonable
in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly notify the
customer who will be given the opportunity to correct the situation. The customer also has the right to bring a complaint
to the FCC if he feels the disconnection is not warranted.
CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures
where such action is reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any such change render the customers
terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities, the customer shall be given adequate notice to
make modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
GENERAL
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment to be connected to party lines.
