Canada Requirements Only

Repairs to certified equipment should be coo rdinated 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, tele phone 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 electric ia n, as appro p ria te.

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, or on the back of the unit.

Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements

Avis: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette 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'installer 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 l a conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L'entreprise de télécomm unication s pe ut d emande r à l' utilisat eur de débra ncher u n app areil à la su ite de rép arations o u de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protectio n, l 'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les f ils d e mise à la te rre de la sou rce d 'éner gie électriqu e, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne d oi t p as ten ter d e f a ire c es racco rde m ents lu i-m ême; i l do it avoir recour s à un se rvice d'inspection des installati ons 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) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition q ue la somme d'indi ces d'équi v alence de la sonnerie de to us les dispositifs n' excède p as
