Industry Canada Warnings
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 document(s). 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. 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 coordinated by a representative designate by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user of 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 inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Notice
The Ring Equivalent Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface.
The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Number of all the
devices does not exceed 5.
