  • is made in response to the above-captioned complaint by Rath Microtech. In its complaint, Rath Microtech argues that EMS's emergency elevator telephones are not properly registered or labeled and that they fail to comply with on-hook impedance limitations as required by Part 68 of the Commission's rules.
