Grangeville Electric Light & Power Co. “Off the Hook” When your telephone is accidentally left “off the hook,” the operator first answers as she would ‘ if you were placing a call. After repeated efforts, receiving no response, she reports your line as “out of order.” It is then disconnected from the regular switchboard and placed on a special board where : . it awaits the attention of the repairing forces. All this takes time. It involves tests, reports and generally a trip to the location of the trouble. In the meantime, what happens? Others have been unable to reach you by telephone. Even if the mistake has been discovered and your telephone placed on the hook, service may not be restored until the “troubleman’s” final O. K. . On a party line all other telephones on the line are deprived of both incoming and outgoing : service for the same period of investigation and ‘ repair. “Off the hook” is a most common cause of in- ‘ terruption to telephone service. By the exercise of care in this connection you will protect your service and avoid inconvenience to yourself and others.
