The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes

it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other

electronic device to send any message via a telephone

fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a

margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or

on the ﬁ rst page of the transmission, the date and time

it is sent and an identiﬁ cation of the business or other

entry, or other individual sending the message and

the telephone number of the sending machine or such

business, other entity, or individual. In order to program

this information into your fax software, you should refer

to the manual of the Fax software being used.

10. According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we

recommend that you may install an AC surge arrestor

in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected.

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 connec-

tion. The customer should be aware that compliance with

the above conditions may not prevent degradation of

service in some situations.

Repairs to certiﬁ ed equipment should 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 disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the elec-

trical ground connections of the power utility, telephone

lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present,

are connected together. This precaution may be par-

ticularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should

not attempt to make such connections themselves, but

should contact the appropriate electric inspection author-

ity, or electrician, as appropriate.”

RESTRICTIONS CONCERNANT LE RACCORDEMENT

DE MATÉRIEL

“AVIS: L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identiﬁ e le matériel

homologué. Cette étiquette certiﬁ e 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 doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la con-

formité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche

pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coor-

données par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.

L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à

l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de répa-

rations ou de modiﬁ cations effectuées par l’utilisateur ou

à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que

tous les ﬁ ls de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie

électrique, 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 doit pas

tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir

recours à un service d’inspection des installations élec-

triques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.”

“AVIS: 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 condi-

tion que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de

touts les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.”
