Industry Canada (IC) Information

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada (IC) radio and terminal equipment technical specifications. This is confirmed by the certification/registration number found on the label on the bottom of the base unit. The abbreviation IC before the certification/registration number only signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity and that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The term “IC:” before the certification/ registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
The Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment is 0.0. The REN is useful in determining the maximum number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. The sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line may not exceed 5.
Before installing this cordless phone, you should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the telecommunications company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the rules and requirements in Industry Canada’s CS-03. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
For your protection, ensure 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:
Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician, as appropriate.

Interference Information
This device complies with Industry Canada’s RSS-210. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Industry Canada’s ICES-003. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
IC Information
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference with one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and the receiving antenna.
Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Industry Canada publishes several publications to assist consumers with solving interference problems, which are available from its offices or from its web site (strategis.gc.ca).
