A residence tele phone will be changed to business service if used primarily or sub stantially for business purposes, or if the residence telephone number is advertised in connection with the sale of products or services. Handling Unwanted Phone Calls

If you’re bothered by harassing or anonymous phone calls, try these techniques to discourage them: Always hang up immediately at the first obscene word or if the person on the other end of the line doesn’t re spond after you’ve said “hello” twice. Don’t talk to the caller. This is what he or she wants you to do. Don’t give out any information or let the caller know if you’re alone. Teach your children to say, “Mom or Dad can’t come to the phone. May I take a message?”

If the problem occurs continuously over an extended period, you should report it to your local law enforcement agency. Keep a record of the days and times of the calls, and note the caller’s sex, voice, accent, and comments. This information could assist the police. It is a crime to make harassing, obscene, or anonymous phone calls under both federal and state laws. (Refer to page 30 for information on Call Tracing. Reference page 42 for information on State and Fed eral Do-Not-Call Programs.)

Prosecuting Fraudulent Callers It is illegal for another person to charge long distance calls to your number or calling card without your permission. People using unau thorized calling cards or phone numbers to avoid charges are subject to prosecution and may be imprisoned, fined, or both. Calling Number Delivery FCC Regulations FCC Rules require the telephone companies to transmit the calling party’s telephone number to the called party on all interstate calls and to allow the customer to choose not to send this information on a call by call basis. If you do not wish to have your telephone number revealed to the individual you are calling, you must first dial *67 from a touch tone telephone or 1167 from a rotary telephone before placing your call.

Wiring Requirements for New Service General Recommendations 1. Use CAT-5E or greater wire. Use the first pair (blue white ) when connecting phone lines. a. Avoid wrapping wire around any pipes and wires. b. Wires should be run above electric wires and water pipes.

c. Don’t splice into any other wire. d. Run wires from planned ONT location to jack location. e. Don’t staple wires when they are run on the inside of a wall. f. Never bury unapproved wire or let wire lay on the ground. g. Contractors may want to use an accessible junction point (4 or more wires) . h. Avoid putting station wires and/or jacks in damp places.

i. It is required during new building construction, buried service being desired, that a conduit be placed in the ground. This conduit should be schedule 40 PVC and use 90 degree sweep L’s (not to exceed three) . A pull string should be placed in the conduit prior to DTC personnel arriving for installation.

2. When running wire through the wall to the outside, leave several feet of slack, protect and allow for growth by stubbing a conduit of sufficient size through exterior wall. Seal conduit with putty. Try to leave loose in case another wire needs to be run. Below are recommendations for various types of installations: Standard Installation 1. CAT-5E or greater wiring, one wire from the NID to each jack. Internet Installation 1. CAT-5E or greater wiring from the NID to the Internet modem. 2. CAT-5E or greater Ethernet should be used from the ONT to the computer or router. 3. Electrical connection is standard 2-wire plug with ground. 4.

DEFINITIONS STB - Set-Top Box - the digital TV channel selector device.

Procedure For Checking Telephone Line To Determine If Trouble Is Inside Please disconnect any cordless phones, answering machines, computers, or alarms systems since these types of instruments can cause outages of service. Keep one instrument connected to test for working service. 1. Make sure your phone is connected to power (if it’s needed). 2. There should already be an existing cable that came with the phone to connect it to the ONT. Ensure one end of this cable is connected to your phone and the other end is connected to the L1 PHONE port on the ONT.

The final setup should look like this:

3. You should have dial tone and be able to make and receive calls if the trouble is inside the home. If this is the case, you may isolate the trouble to a particular station wire or jack inside by using the following procedure: a. Reconnect everything as it was before you started testing to de termine if the trouble was inside or outside. b. If you have more than one station wire connected to the line, disconnect one station wire and check the others inside for dial tone. Continue this process until the defective station wire, jack or instrument has been identified. If the trouble is outside, notify DTC repair service to have a technician come and repair your line. Charges will apply for service calls when the problem is in customer equipment or customer owned station wiring.

EQUIPMENT INFORMATION

Recording Or Monitoring Phone Calls Anyone who records or monitors a phone conversation is required to make this known to all parties in the conversation. The party doing the monitoring must ask for the other person’s permission to record or monitor the conversation. When using the public utility telephone network: A. All parties in the conversation must consent to the conversations being recorded or monitored; and B. The monitoring or recording must be signaled by either: 1. a “beep tone” audible to all parties and repeated at regular intervals during the conversation; or 2. clearly and permanently marking the telephones being used that the conversation may be recorded without notice. Attachments To Telephone Equipment Attachments connected to the telephone company’s lines must be in compliance with company tariffs and Federal Communications Com mission regulations. Telephone Safety The telephone is one of the safest appliances in your home or office. There are, however, a few situations where a telephone user needs to be cautious. Use of the telephone near water The telephone should not be used while you are in the bathtub, show er or pool. Immersion of the telephone or handset in water could cause electrical shock.

Use of the telephone during an electrical storm You should avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm in your immediate area; calls of an urgent nature should be brief. There is

a remote risk of dangerous electrical shock from lightning when using the telephone during a nearby electrical storm. Use of the telephone to report a gas leak If you think you have found a gas leak, you should not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak until the leak is repaired. The telephone contains electrical contacts that could gen

erate a tiny spark when you lift the handset and dial. While unlikely, it may be possible for this spark to trigger an explosion if the gas concentration is high enough.

Exception To The Above Calling Plans With Local Number Portability and Number Pooling having been im plemented, there may be exceptions to the plans. Number porting and number pooling allow DTC numbers to be assigned through other local service providers in certain cases. When this happens, the calling plan for that carrier, rather than the DTC plan, applies. Likewise, numbers may be ported into DTC from other local service providers, in which case the DTC local calling plan would replace that of the previous service provider. Local Number Portability and Number Pooling can also affect calls dialed by DTC subscribers. If the number you are calling has been ported or pooled, it may or may not be a local call. Please call DTC or your local toll carrier for specific questions.

Tennessee Area Code Map

Area Calling does NOT apply to wireless phones and other carriers, even though they may have the same prefix as AT&T’s landline. Any dialed number requir ing eleven digit dialing may have charges incurred.
