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 system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
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 may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100. The Load Number for this product is 5.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate."
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out in

Compliance with BABT Requirements (MT2834MRK only)

European Low Voltage Directive
When correctly installed and maintained, the modem will present no hazard to the user. When correctly
installed the modem will be connected to the PSTN or a PW and to a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE),
whose modem connections comply with ITU-T recommendation V28. The DTE connections are therefore
taken to be safe voltages (less than +30 volts).
Approved for connection to telecommunications system specified in the instructions for use subject to the
conditions set out in them Approval no. NS/3422/23/N/603030 (Model #MT2834MRK).
Compliance with BS6305 Clause 6.2 BS6320 Clause 7.2 and BABT/SITS/82/005S/D
a. The modem is suitable for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) provided by
British Telecommunications pic or Kingston Communications (Hull) plc. Circuit supply by British
Communications, Mercury Communication or Hull City Council. Only direct exchange lines may be used,
not shared service. The modem may be connected to private speech band.
b. The modem is suitable for household, office and similar general indoor use. It is not suitable for use
as an extension to a payphone.
c. BT lines supplied must support either loop disconnect or multifrequency tone signalling.
d. REN (Ringer Equivalence Number).
The REN value of a unit is calculated from 3/n where n is the total number of units which can be
connected in parallel which will still cause the standard bell (as defined in BS6305 Appendix D) to ring.
REN values of less than 0.3 cannot be assigned. For apparatus which is not capable of forming part of a
multiple installation, a REN value of 3 is assigned.
REN = 1
If a telephone or other device is connected in parallel with the modem, the combined REN must not
exceed 4. A BT supplied telephone may be assumed to have REN of 1.0 unless otherwise noted.
The approval of this modem for connection to the British Telecom public switched telephone network is
INVALIDATED if the apparatus is subject to modification in any material way not authorized by BABT or if
it is used with or connected to:
i. internal software that has not been formally accepted BABT.
