AVIS: L’étiquette de l’Industrie Canada identifie le
matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le
matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection,
d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications. Industrie Canada n’assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la
satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer
qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de
l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel
doit également être installé en suivant une méthode
acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas

conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la
dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être
effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé
désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de
débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou
de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause
de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer
que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie
électrique, les lignes téléphoniques et les canalisations
d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble.
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans
les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter
de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir
recours à un service d’inspection des installations
électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné a chaque dispositif
terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le
pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée
à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce
dispositif. La terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être
constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de
dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge
de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
L’Indice de charge de ce produit est 0.1B.
