Notice to Users of the Canadian Public Switched Telephone
Network
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. 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
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. 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
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 line 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 Load Number for this equipment is listed on the modem’s label.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which
is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all devices does not
exceed 100.
If your equipment is in need of repair, follow the return process as
indicated on your warranty card.
