SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CANADA
The Industry Canada Department's label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that 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 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. 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.
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. For their own protection users should
ensure 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 make installation connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.
Load Number
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent
overloading. The termination on a loop can consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the total of the LNs of all the devices does not exceed 100.
