Canadian Department Of Communications (CDOC) Certification Label
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommuni- cations 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 con- nected 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 ex- tended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not pre- vent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian mainte- nance 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.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appro- priate.
