Information for Canadian Users The Industry Canada (IC, formerly DOC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. IC does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to a 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 card). The customer should be aware that the 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. For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.Tthis precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to the telephone loop used by the device without overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices, subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices not exceed 100. This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada (formerly Canadian DOC). vii
