Regulatory Statements (cont’d) 
 
Industrie Canada 
AVIS: l’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette 
certifie 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’enterprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également 
être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée da raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas 
oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche 
pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. 
 
Les réparations de matériel nomologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant 
désigné par le fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à 
l’utilisateur da débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications 
effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement. 
 
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre 
de la source d’energie électrique, de 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 racours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, 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 condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la 
sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.
