CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION NOTICE
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) 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, make sure you are permitted to connect it to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. You must install the equipment using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases you may also extend the company’s inside wiring for single line
individual service by means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should
be aware, however, 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
designed by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telephone communications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
For your own protection, make sure 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: Do not attempt to make electrical ground connections yourself, contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority or an electrician.
NOTICE: The load number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to the telephone loop used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a
loop may consist of any combination of devices, subject to the requirement that the total of the load
numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
