EQUIPMENT ATTACHMENTS LIMITATIONS

To ensure that certified equipment is attached correctly and only to the networks of

participating carriers, the following statement shall accompany each unit of certified

equipment offered for sale. This statement must be included conspicuously in written or

electronic format, at or near the front of each copy of the operating manual, or accompany

other technical information, or be included as a separate sheet. The required statement is:

“NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This

certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications network protective,

operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal

Equipment Technical Requirements documents(s). 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. The customer should be aware that

compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some

situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative 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. Caution:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the

appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.”

An explanatory note on Ringer Equivalence Numbers (see Section 10.0) and their use must

be provided for the terminal equipment user in the information accompanying the terminal

equipment. A notice similar to the following would be suitable:

“NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal

device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be

connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of

any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the ringer

equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.”
