1.3 Industry Canada Notice
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is con-
firmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registra-
tion was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications
were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
This Declaration of Conformity 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 condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized 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 ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, are connected together. This protection may be particularly important in rural areas.
A.4 Radio and TV Interference (FCC Part 15)
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television recep-
tion. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accor-
dance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna,
and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).
