Canadian Regulations Governing the Use of Modems
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing the 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. 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 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.
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.
a
WARNING:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves. Contact
the appropriate electric inspection authority or an electrician. Power and telephone
lines must always be properly grounded or physical harm may ensue.
Notice: 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.
The REN for the modem contained in this product does not exceed 1.0.
