Note: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. The certification means that
the equipment meets certain t elecommunications network prot ective operations and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee th e equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, u sers shou ld e nsure that it is permissible to be connected to the fa cilitie s of t he lo cal
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 exten sion cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent the 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 orequipment 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, telephone 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 approp ria te.

ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du service de télécommunications

fournisseur. En cas de réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de
l’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut demander le débranchment de l’appareillage.
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises à la terre des lignes de distribution
