At the time your account is provisioned, ELECTROMEDIA, LLC will register one (1) phone number in the 911 databases for you. The Registered Location for your account is obtained from the Registered Location information that you provided on the E911 Services tab of the Services Quote Packet that you completed and supplied to ELECTROMEDIA, LLC for provisioning of test or actual Services. The Registered Location Information is then tied to the E911 CID field (911 Caller ID) display of your registered phone number. Please note that no 911 services are available for toll free phone numbers. You will be informed which of your phone number is registered and enabled for 911 Services in the ELECTROMEDIA, LLC E911 database.

If you change the number that you use for 911 calling, your 911 Services may not be available to you and/or may operate differently than normal. If you change the phone number that you use for 911 calling, you must register the new E911 CLID number and its associated address with ELECTROMEDIA, LLC in order to enable 911 capabilities for the number. Failure to do so may result in 911 services not being available to you when using an unregistered phone number. If the 911 call does not complete, it will be automatically routed to a National Emergency Call Center and you will be asked to verify your number and provide your physical location to the operator. There is a $150.00 charge for each 911 call placed from an unregistered phone number on the ELECTROMEDIA, LLC network. To register additional numbers or to manage your 911 Registered Location, please contact ELECTROMEDIA, LLC at 574-208-9616.

Calls from all non-registered numbers will result in a charge of $120.00 per call.

2.5 PSAP LIMITATIONS AND THE HANDLING OF E911/911 CALLS - Presently, ELECTROMEDIA, LLC routes E911/911 calls from Registered DIDs to Emergency Services Operators at the various PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points). You understand that occasionally there may be instances where the limitations of the PSAPs determine the level of E911/911 services that you receive. For instance, E911/911 PSAP operators may or may not be able to access the ALI Database in order to automatically retrieve information pertaining to a registered DID, such as caller name and address, and so in such instances, you may be required to verbally provide this information to the PSAP operator at the time the call is placed. For this reason, ELECTROMEDIA, LLC can make no guarantees about the consistency of the E911/911 services, with regard to PSAP operators being able to automatically retrieve and view caller information.

2.6 INSTANCES WHERE E911/911 SERVICES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE - You understand that while the ELECTROMEDIA, LLC-provided VOIP service closely approximates traditional 911 services, there may be instances in which the E911/911 Services may function differently from traditional 911 services, or may not be available.

• E911 location updates to the ELECTROMEDIA, LLC database will generally be available within fortyeight (48) hours or less. However, ELECTROMEDIA, LLC cannot guarantee that this will always bethe case, especially if the E911/911 Registered Location Address update provided by customer is lacking and/or incongruent with the parameters of the ELECTROMEDIA, LLC customer portal/database and subsequently produces a rejection of the Registered Location Address update;

• Any other unspecified circumstances which affect the use of the E911/911 services.
