The following items are included as part of the CS-03 Requirements.
The Load Number of the equipment is 20.
The standard connecting arrangement code for the equipment is CA11A.

NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective operational and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee that the equipment will operate to the 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 cord). The customer should be aware
that 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 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.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of total
load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent
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 does not
exceed 100.
