Industry Canada Notice — Please Read Carefully
The Industry Canada label identifies Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meet certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada 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 degradation of service in some situations.
Existing telecommunications company requirements do not permit their equipment to be connected to
customer provided jacks except where specified by individual telecommunications company tariffs.
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.
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 to disconnect the
equipment.
