Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protectio n against harmful interference
when the equipment is operat ed in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case users will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference at their own expense.

Canada Requirements Only
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 tha t the electrical gro und connecti ons of the po wer utility, telep hone lines
and internal metallic 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 ap pro pr iate.
Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that 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. The REN is located on the “FCC
Rules Part 68” label located on the bracket of the module, o r on t he back of the unit.

Avis: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiqu et te certifie que le matériel est
conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le
prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'instal ler ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise
locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L'abonné ne doi t pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus
n'empêche pas la dégradation du servi ce dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coor données par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.
L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou
de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu e tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisati ons d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution
est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doi t p as t ente r d e fa ire ce s ra ccor dem ents lu i-m ême; i l do it avoir recours à un service
d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Avis: Veuillez prendre note que pour tout appareillage supportant des lignes de type “loopstart,” l'indice d'équivalence
de la sonnerie (IES) assi gné à chaque disposit if terminal indique l e nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être
raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques
