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.

If you experience any operational problems while using the SmartSwitch 1800, follow this procedure. First, determine whether the problem is the unit, other voice equipment (e.g., a PBX or key system), or telephone company facilities.

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.

3.If the equipment is connected to other voice equipment, and the equipment is also experiencing difficulty with the telephone company facilities, try reconnecting the equipment to other telephone circuits. If the problem persists, it is likely that the connected equipment is at fault.

If you find the problem is with the connected voice equipment, contact the manufac- turer of the equipment for repair assistance.
