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

metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.

attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as
appropriate. The Ringer Equivalent
