Canada Department of Communications (DOC) Notice
Telephone Connection
The Canada 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 the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, the user should ensure it is permissible to connect it to the facilities of the local communications company. The equipment must 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 that 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 systems, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
WARNING: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician, as appropriate.
