Notice to Users in Canada
Before installing this 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. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not 
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to this equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by 
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.
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric 
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
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 
registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical 
specifications were met.  It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the Registration 
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.
The REN assigned to each terminal equipment 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 devices does not exceed five.
