IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating Wireless WAN operate using radio signals and 
cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely 
upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.

Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating 
Wireless WAN must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.

Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. 
lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an 
emergency call.

Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer or Handheld 
Computer incorporating Wireless WAN.

Industry Canada (IC) Notice for modem

This equipment contains an Industry Canada approved 
modem unit.
The Industry Canada label is affixed on the modem unit.

EQUIPMENT ATTACHEMENT LIMITATIONS

“NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equip-

ment. This certification means that the equipment meets tele-

communications network protective, operational and safety 

requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equip-

ment 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 tele-

communications company. The equipment must also be 

installed using an acceptable method of connection. The cus-

tomer should be aware that compliance with the above condi-

tions may not prevent degradation of service in some 

situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a rep-

resentative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alter-

ations 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 con-

nections themselves, but should contact the appropriate elec-

tric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.”

“NOTICE: 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 the devices 

does not exceed 5.”

RESTRICTIONS CONCERNANT LE RACCORDEMENT

DE MATÉRIEL

“AVIS: L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel 

homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est con-

forme aux normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité 

des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les 

documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au 

matériel terminal. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le 

matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est 

permis de le raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise locale 

de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé 

en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement.

L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la confor-

mité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche pas la 

dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordon-

nées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.

L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utili-

sateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou 

de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de 

mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous 

les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie électrique, des 

lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, 

s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est par-

ticulièrement importante dans les régions rurales. Avertisse-

ment: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces 

raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service 

d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, 

selon le cas.”

“AVIS: L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à 

chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de ter-

minaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La termi-

naison d’une interface téléphonique peut consister en une 

combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que 

la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de touts les 

dispositifs n’excède pas 5.”
