Canadian Limitations Notice
Notice:
The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal device pro-
vides 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 the devices does not exceed 5.
Notice:
The Industry Canada label identifies certificated equipment. This certifica-
tion means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive, operational and safety requirements. The Industry Canada label 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 con-
nected 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 degra-
dation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made
by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any re-
pairs or alterations made by the user to 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.
International Modem Restrictions
Some dialing and answering defaults and restrictions may vary for international
modems. Changing settings may cause a modem to become non-compliant with na-
tional telecom requirements in specific countries. Also note that some software
packages may have features or lack restrictions that may cause the modem to be-
come non-compliant.
Commission Decision CTR21
The equipment has been approved to Commission Decision CTR21 for pan-Europe-
an single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of suc-
cessful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of prob-
lems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
