MPORTANT NFORMATION
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment will operate to
the user's satisfaction.
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 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 systems, 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 appropriate.
NOTES: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Party lines are subject to telephone company tariffs and, therefore, you may not be able to use your own
telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

NTERFERENCE NFORMATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may interfere with residential radio
and television reception if not properly installed and used in accordance with instructions contained in
this manual. Reasonable protection against such interference is ensured, although there is no guarantee
this will not occur in a given installation. If interference is suspected and verified by switching this
equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures: Reorient the radio/television receiver's antenna, relocate the equipment with respect
to the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user may also wish to
consult a qualified radio/television technician for additional suggestions. This equipment has been fully
tested and complies with all limits for Class B computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and
Regulations. This apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for RF noise emissions specified in the
RFI regulations of the Industry Canada.
T N I
ELEPHONE ETWORK NFORMATION
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the
telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If
these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment,
the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.

UMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone
company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company.
