Notices
ment does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is per-
missible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommuni-
cations company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of communication. In some cases, the company's
inside wiring associated with a 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 of alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equip-
ment 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.
The Ringer 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 on
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.
