NOTICE TO USERS OF THE CANADIAN TELEPHONE NETWORK
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring
associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection the electrical ground connection of the power
utility, telephone line and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION!
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used
by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of
any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of all
the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
