Telephone Trouble
Causes You Inconvenience
Here’s how you can help' prevent it
Do not "bang'’ the receiver on the hook nor handle the
telephone roughly. There are more than 200 parts to the
instrument, some of which may be shaken loose.
Do not place wet coats, umbrellas, mops or other damp ar
ticles near the telephone or on the cords. Dampness may make
the line "noisy” or put the telephone entirely out of order.
Do not use attachments which arc claimed to make conversa
tion more distinct or to keep the mouth-piece sanitary’. These
nearly always injure your service instead of improving it.
If at any time your telephone does not seem to work properly, please
report it to our "Repair Department” at once, giving accurate details of
the trouble. The trouble may not be in the instrument at all but in the
wires leading to the switchboard or in the central office mechanism.
