THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your telephone cassette recorder causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can disconnect your service. The phone company attempts to notify you in ad- vance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of your telephone cassette re- corder. The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.
