The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it
unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic
device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine
unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or
bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the
transmission the following information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business, business entity or
individual sending the message; and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business,
business entity or individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures
where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations
in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to
render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with
telephone company communications facilities, or require
modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or
otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the
customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the
customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
Ringer Equivalence Number
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number
for this machine may be found on the label located on the
bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may
need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the
electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for
determining whether you have “overloaded” the line. Installing
several types of equipment on the same telephone line may
result in problems making and receiving telephone calls,
especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line
should be less than five in order to assure proper service from
the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not
be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is
not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from
your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone
network.
WARNING:
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this
equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. In the
event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company should notify the customer
that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease service,
providing that they:
a) promptly notify the customer.
b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment
problem.
c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the
Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures
set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
