Industry Canada Notice
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is
confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that regis-
tration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical speci-
fications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
This Declaration of Conformity means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive, operational and safety requirements. The Department 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 con-
nected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using
an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent degradation of service in
some situations. Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment mal-
functions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, are connected together. This protection may be particularly important
in rural areas.
