Texas Instruments TravelMate 6100 Series User Manual page 7

For Canadian Modem Users:
The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The department
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before using the modem, 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. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a
single-line, individual service may be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations. Currently, telecommunications
companies do not allow users to connect their equipment to jacks except
in precise situations that are spelled out in tariffing arrangements with
those companies.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by SHL Technical Services
at 905-458-9800 or another 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.
For your own protection, make sure 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:
To prevent overloading, a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) has been
assigned to each terminal device to denote the percentage of the total load
to be connected to a telephone loop that is used by the device. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the total REN of the devices not exceed five.
The IC-CS03 label and REN label are located on the bottom of your
computer.
Do not attempt to make such connections yourself.
Contact the appropriate electric inspection authority,
or electrician.
