Canada CS-03 rules and regulations

Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
telecommunications ne twork protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Dep artment does not guarantee 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. 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 shoul d 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 disconn ect 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, a re connected together. This precaution m ay be particularl y important
in rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themse lv es, but should contact the approp riate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that th e Rin ger E quivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a tele phone
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combinatio n of devices subjec t only to the requirement th at
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 th e back of the unit.

Avis: L'étiquette d'Industrie Ca nada id entif ie le maté riel hom ologué . Cette ét iquette certifie que le mat ériel est confo rme
aux normes de protection, d'exploita tion 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 doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-d essus n'empêche pas la
dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par l e 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 que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des cana lisation s d' eau métalliq ue s, s'il y en a, sont ra ccor dés ensemb le . Cet te précau tion est
particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d'inspection des installati ons électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Connecting a Contivity unit to the network

Important safety information
To avoid contact with electrical current:

• Never install electrical wiring during an electrical storm

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless that jack is specifically designed for wet locations

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines

• Use a screwdriver and other tools with insulated handles

• You and those around you should wear safety glass e s or goggles

• Do not place telephone wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction box containing electri cal wiring

Warning: Do not work on your telephone wiring if you wear a pacemaker. Telephone lines carry electrical current.
Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit, terminals and other electrical facilities.

Extreme caution must be used to avoid electrical shock from such facilities. You must avoid contact with all such
facilities.

• T elephone wirin g must be at least 6 feet fro m bare power wiring or li ghtning ro ds and associated wires, and at least
6 inches from other wire (antenna wires, doorbell wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water
pipes, and heating ducts.

• Before working with e xi sting in side wir i ng , ch eck a ll e le ctric al ou tle ts fo r a squ a re tele ph on e dial l igh t transformer
and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Failur e to unplug all telephone tr ansformers can cause electrical shock.

• Do not place a jack where it would allow a person to use the telephone while in a bathtub, shower, swimming pool,
or similar hazardous location.

• Protectors and groundi ng wire placed by the service provider must not be connect ed to, removed, or modified by
the customer.

Specific information related to different types of communication connections

Connecting a Contivity unit containing an analog modem

It is not necessary to notify the telephone company be fo re installi ng the mod em. Howeve r, the telephone company may
request the telephone number(s) to which the unit is connected and the related FCC informa tio n inclu din g the FCC Part
68 registration number and the ringer equivalence number.

Be sure that the telephone line you are connecting the modem to is a standard analog line and not a digital (PBX), party,
or coin telephone line. If the modem is malfunctioning, it may affect th e telephone line s. In this case, disconnect the
modem until the source of the difficulty is traced.

Connecting a Contivity unit containing an ISDN card with NT1

When connecting this version of the product to the network, avoid contact with the Telecommunications lead wire.
Telephone wiring can carry dangerous voltage from electrical faults or lightning.

This version of the product is equip ped with one sta ndard 8- pin mod ular jack, lab eled ISDN, for c onnection to the ISDN
network.and one standard 6-pin modu la r jack, labeled PHONE, for connection to an analog telephone device. If you
need to add wiring to your facility, refer to the National ISDN Users Forum document NIUF 433-94 ISDN Wiring and
Powering Guidelines (Residence and Small Business).

Connecting a Contivity unit containing an ISDN card without NT1

This version of the product is equipped with one standard 8-pin modular jack, labeled ISDN, for connection to the NT1
and one standard 6-pin modular jack, labeled PHONE, for connection to an analog telephone device.

The ISDN card without NT1 is not inte nd e d for dire ct co n nec tio n to the pu blic switched network or other ex p osed p la nt
networks. Always connect the product to such networks through a certified (by the local, regional or national safety
agency and telecommunication s authority), isolating ty pe network t erminating devic e (CSU , LIU, DSU, NT1, NCTE, or
the like) that provides over-voltage protection.
