Canada Department of
Communications (DOC) Notice
Telephone Connection
The Canada 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, the user should ensure it
is permissible to connect it to the facilities of the local
communications company. The equipment must 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 may 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 that the
user disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe systems,
if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
WARNING: Users should not attempt to make
such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or electrician, as appropriate.
WARNING: The Load Number .9 assigned to
each terminal device denotes the percentage
of the total load to be connected to a
telephone loop; this 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 sum of the Load Numbers does not
exceed 100.
WARNING: When using this device, basic
safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
•
Do not use this product near water, for
example, near a bathtub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
•
Avoid using this product during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning.
•
Do not use this product to report a gas
leak in the vicinity of the leak.
•
Always disconnect the modem cable before
opening the equipment enclosure or
touching an uninsulated modem cable,
jack, or internal components.
•
If this product was not provided with a
telephone line cord, use only No. 26 AWG
or larger telecommunication line cord in
order to reduce the risk of fire.
•
Do not plug a modem or telephone cable
into the Network Interface Card (NIC)
