Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

1.6 Canadian Limitations Notice

Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certificated 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, 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 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 insure 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 Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combinations of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.

The load number for the composite link modem is 4.
