Before installing this equipment, the user should ensure it is permissible to connect
it to the facilities of the local communications company. The equipment must 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 that the user 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.
WARNING: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or electrician, as appropriate.
