CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS (CDOC):
Requirements for End Users:
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equip- ment meets certain telecommunications network requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment users should ensure that connection to the line is allowed by 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 telephone extension cord. Compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in certain situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian main- tenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunica- tions company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connec- tions 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 con- tact the appropriate electric inspection author- ity, or electrician, as appropriate.
