Rural telephones are those which have numbers containing the letter \F and will be reached by dialing 15 and giving the operator the directory num- ber of the desired party. Certain telephones vyill have no dials, and they, of course, will be used as at present. Note: To call other parties on your own line, do not dial . the directory number,. dial the code number which appears on the transmitter card opposite the directory number of the desired party.

If this number appears on the transmitter card, dial the corresponding code number shown thereon. \ - • After dialing, place the receiver on the hook while waiting for the called party to answer. Your bell will ring intermittently until the called party answers. Then remove your receiver and you are ready, to talk.

The ringing signal differs materially from the busy signal by being less intense and by occurring at less frequent (about three second) intervals. - If neither the fcusy nor ringing signal is heard and no operator answers, place the receiver on the hook for a full second, then remove it and dial the desired number again. If no signal is audible, again hang up the receiver for a full second. Then dial the repair clerk, 13, and explain as clearly as possible what the trouble is, using another telephone if necessary. • After finishing the conversation or in case the called party doesnotanswer after what you consider a reasonable time, replace the receiver on the hook and the machinery will disconnect your telephone from the one you have called. v , \ .
