The following items are included as part of
the CS-03 Requirements. The standard
connecting arrangement code for the
equipment is CA11A. This product meets the
applicable Industry Canada technical
specifications.
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of
Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not
guarantee that 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 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. The Ringer Equivalent Number
is an indication of the maximum number of
termianls 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 Equivalent Number of
all the devices not exceed five.
