Canadian modem regulations
Canadian Department of
Communications certification
label
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications 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, 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 conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian 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 electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and
internal water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution 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.
LOAD NUMBER (LN)
The load number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone
loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the load of all the
devices does not exceed 100. The load number of the built-in
modem is 10.
Étiqueete d’homologation du
Ministère des
Communications du Canada
AVI S : L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du 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.
Le ministère 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
télécommunications. Le matériel doit également être installé en
suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit
pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions
énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégradation du service
dans certaines situations.
