equipment must also be installed using an
approved method of connection. The
method of connection approved for this
equipment as designated by D.O.C.
Standard CS-03 is a CAllA or CAllW
connection arrangement. The A or W
suffix indicates that either desk or wall
mounting is approved. In some cases, the

LOAD NUMBER
The load number of the telephone is 10A.
Load numbers are a new concept
deslgned to help you determine how
many telephones can be connected to
any one telephone line. The total of the
load numbers for all the telephones
connected to any one line should not
exceed 100. An alphabetic suffix Is also
specified to indicate the appropriate
ringer type (A or B).
Since the load numbers are new,you may
not know what the load numbers are for
your previous telephones It is usually safe
to assume that the load numbers for them
will be about 20. This means that there
should be no problems with up to five
telephones on one line.
If the maximum total load number of 100
is exceeded, the telephone on that line
may not ring or may ring poorly. In
addition, you may not be connected to
the calling party when you pick up the
receiver or you may have dialing
problems
If you experience the above problems
after the addition of a telephone to your
line. you may have exceeded the
maximum load number of 100. In this
case, you will have to disconnect ohq of
the telephones to reduce your total
number below 100.
