IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should alwaysbe followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shockand injury to persons. The precautions
are listed below.
1. Donotusethisproductnearwater(forexample,nearabathtub,washbowl,kitchensinkor
laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool).
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unlessthejackisspecificallydesignedforwetlocations.
3. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
4. Donotusethetelephonetoreport a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
5. Use only the power cord, power supply, and/or
batteries indicated in the manual. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check local codes for any special disposal instructions.
6. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
7. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

AFFIDAVIT REQUIREMENTS FOR CONNECTION TO
DIGITAL SERVICES
• An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone
company whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog content and billing protection is
used to transmit digital signals containing encoded
analog content which are intended for eventual conversioninto voiceband analog signals and transmitted
on the network.
• The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or billing information is being transmitted
or that the output of the device meets Part 68 encoded
analog content or billing protection specifications.
• End user/customer will be responsible to file an affidavit with the local exchange carrier when connecting
unprotected CPE to a 1.544 Mbps or subrate digital
services.
• Until such time as subrate digital terminal equipment
is registered for voice applications, the affidavit requirement for subrate services is waived.

CANADIAN EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
Notice: The Canadian Industry and Science Canada
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, 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
61200242L1-1 NT1 ACE4User Manual xi
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). 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 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 an electrician, as
appropriate.

Connecting the Terminal Equipment
After successfully powering up the NT1 ACE4,theERROR
indicators should be on and the READY indicators should
be flashing. Make sure that terminal equipment (TE) is
properly terminated. Plug the TE into one of the S/T connectors at the rear of the unit.
The ERROR indicators should extinguish a few seconds
after power is applied to the TE. If the ERROR indicators
fail to go out, see the section Troubleshooting on page 8.
As the ERROR indicators extinguish, the READ Y indicators should illuminate. There may be a slight delay between
the appearance of the READY indicators and the TE’s ability to place and receive calls, depending on the specific TE
in use. If the READY indicators fail to illuminate or if you
areunabletoplaceorreceivecalls,seethesectionTrouble-
shooting on page 8.
Typical Configuration
This configuration allows you to connect up to four TEs at
4
ranges up to 3000 feet from the NT1 ACE
ure 1-6. A termination resistor should be centrally located to
4
the TEs. The NT1 ACE
TERMINATION is set to 100 ohms.
The TEs should be set to 100 ohms.
