Important Information
NOTICE: This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of connection. 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 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 systems, 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.
NOTES: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may interfere with residential
radio and television reception if not properly installed and used in accordance with instructions
contained in this manual. Reasonable protection against such interference is ensured, although
there is no guarantee this will not occur in a given installation. If interference is suspected and
verified by switching this equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient the radio/television receiver’s
antenna, relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into
separate circuit outlets. The user may also wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and complies with all limits for Class B
computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.
Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone
company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected
to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you
adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.

the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices
you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
