2.6 INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE

NOTICE: The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment.

This certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications

network protective, operational, and safety requirements as prescribed

in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements docu-

ments. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate

to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is

permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunica-

tions company. The equipment must also be installed using an accept-

able method of connection. The customer should be aware that compli-

ance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service

in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representa-

tive 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 the user to 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 system, if present, are connected together. The precaution

may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections

themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric

inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): The REN assigned to each termi-

nal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals

allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an

interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the

requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the

devices does not exceed 5.
