Telecommunications per DOC notice
(for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment
will operate to the users’ satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should make sure 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 inside wiring associated with a single-line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly. 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 make sure, 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.
To avoid electrical shock or equipment malfunction do not
attempt to make electrical ground connections by yourself.
Contact the appropriate inspection authority or an electrician,
as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number
of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
