The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment
Requirements document(s). 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. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may no prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a
representative 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
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to
each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminals to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination of an interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all devices does not exceed 5.
