above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordi-
nated by a representative designated by the sup-
plier. 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 util-
ity, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This pre-
caution 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.
