When programming and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless
such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the
first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business,
other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine
of such business, other entity, or individual.
In order to program this information into your facsimile, refer to your communications software
user manual.
Canadian Department of Communications Notice
The Industry of Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network prospective, operational and safety
requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, make sure you are permitted to connect it to the facilities of the
local Telecommunications Company. You must install the equipment using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases you may also extend the company’s inside wiring for single line
individual service by means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You
should be aware, however, 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
designed by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a user to this equipment or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telephone communications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
For your own protection, make sure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipes systems, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Do not attempt to make electrical ground connections yourself, contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority or an electrician.
The Ringer Equivalence 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 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 devices does not exceed 5.”

accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It
indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty.
Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another
item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is
compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.
This equipment does not fully meet Telecom’s impedance requirements. Performance limitations
may occur when used in conjunction with some parts of the network. Telecom will accept no
responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
This equipment shall not be set up to make automatic calls to the Telecom ‘111’ Emergency
Service.
If a charge for local calls is unacceptable, the ‘Dial’ button should NOT be used for local calls. Only
the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled from your telephone. DO NOT dial the area code
digit or the ‘0’ prefix.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected
to the same line.
Important Notice
