vCanadian Department of Communications Statement
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec-
tive operational and safety requirements. The Department does
not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfac-
tion.
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, where the company’s inside wiring is 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 autho-
rized 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 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 inspec-
tion 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 overload-
ing. The termination on loop may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the
Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100. For the
Omegaphone® OMA-P1104, the Load Number is 8.
