6. Allow the phone to charge for 16 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly charge

you to send your number.  
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone  
network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary  
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and  
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily  
discontinue service immediately.
