INDUSTRY CANADA - EQUIPMENT ATTACHMENT LIMITATIONS:
NOTICE:
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Depart-
ment 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. 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 coordinated by a representative 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 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 precau-
tion may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact appropri-
ate electric 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 does not exceed 5.
