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. 
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian 
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations as specified in the Industry 
Canada Standard ICES-003.
Signaling method
The equipment allows signaling in DTMF tones. It can complete calls to 
local and long distance lines and can also complete long distance calls via 
computer phone systems such as MCI or SPRINT. This equipment is 
capable of providing access to interstate providers of operator services 
through the use of access codes. Modification of this equipment by call 
aggregators to block access dialing codes is a violation of the Telephone 
Operator Consumers Act of 1990.
Ringer Equivalence Number
US
The FCC Registration information on the product label, includes a Ringer 
Equivalence Number (REN) which is used to determine the number of 
devices you may connect to your phone line. A high total REN may prevent 
ICSs from detecting ringing in response to an incoming call and may make 
placing calls difficult. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs 
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that 
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the 
local telephone company.
Note:  RENs are associated with loop start and ground start ports. Do not 
use for E&M or digital ports.
Caution
Users should not attempt to make such connections 
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric 
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate 
						

							28 / Regulations
Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03
Canada
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 
sum of the ringer equivalence numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
Hearing aid compatibility
The telephone station sets are compatible with hearing aids equipped with 
an appropriate telecoil and is compliant with the requirements of the 
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Use of a music source
In accordance with US, Canadian and international copyright laws, a

and Publishers, or other composers’ or performing rights organization if 
Radio, TV or other broadcasts to the public are transmitted through the 
Music On Hold or Background Music features of this telecommunication 
system.
Programming emergency numbers

emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for 
calling before hanging up.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early mornings 
or late evenings.
Substitution of non-approved equipment will void the NORTEL warranty.
