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 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. This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspec-
tion authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) 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 the Ringer
Equivalent Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.0. For Sensaphone 1800,
the AC Ringer Equivalent Number is 0.6B.
