Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03
(for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the users’ satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should make sure 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 inside wiring associated with a single-line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly. 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 to
disconnect the equipment.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock
or equipment
malfunction do not
attempt to make
electrical ground
connections by yourself.
Contact the appropriate
inspection authority or
an electrician, as
appropriate.
Users should make sure, 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.
The
Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices
does not exceed 5.
