INDUSTRY CANADA (IC) NOTICE
“NOTICE: The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, oper-
ational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment
Technical Requirements documents(s). The department does not guarantee the equip-
ment 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. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of ser-
vice in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designat-
ed by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a user to this equipment, or equip-
ment malfunctions, may give the telephone communications 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.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropri-
ate.”
“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 device does not exceed 5.”
