DOC Notification
and Repair Information
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements.
The DOC does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to
connect it 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 for 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 any 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. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
