Industry Canada (IC) Notice
NOTICE: The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements described in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Requirements documents. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to user
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, ensure that it is acceptable for connection to the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. Compliance with these
conditions may not prevent degraded service in some situations.
A representative designated by the supplier should coordinate repairs to certified equipment. Any repairs or alterations to
this equipment or any equipment malfunctions may cause the telephone communications company to request that the user
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.
