Telephone Company Rights and Responsibilities

If your equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the situation and you will be informed of your rights to file a complaint with the FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment . Should they do so, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninter- rupted telephone service.

1.If the equipment is connected directly to a telephone company line, try recon- necting the SmartSwitch 1800 to a different line. If the problem persists, it is likely that the SmartSwitch 1800 is at fault .

2.If the equipment is connected to other voice equipment, try reconnecting the SmartSwitch 1800 to another port or tie line on the connected equipment. If the problem clears up, it is likely that the connected equipment is at fault.
