CANADA
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as prescribed in the
appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not guar-
antee 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. 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 coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele-
communications company cause to request the user disconnect the equipment.
User should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, tel-
ephone 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 appro-
priate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the

CAUTION:
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure
compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this device.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling,
only the performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory require-
ments for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equip-
ment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency
services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

-Notice about the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (Valid in USA
only).
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 among other things makes it
unlawful for any person to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless
such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmit-
ted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and
an identification of the business, other entity, or other individual sending the
message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business,
other entity or individual. This information is transmitted with your document
by the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification) feature. In order for you to meet
the requirement, your machine must be programmed by following the instruc-
tions in the accompanying Operation Manual. In particular, please refer to the
chapter of Installation. Also refer to the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification)
programming procedure to enter the business identification and telephone
number of the terminal or business. Do not forget to set the date and time.
Thank you.
Direct (or indirect reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye
damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent
any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.

Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of
laser-based optical unit in the field. The optical housing unit can only be re-
paired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser sub-
system is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed
to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when
replacement or the optical subsystem is required.
Operator Safety :
This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office / EDP use.
The machine contains two 5-milliwat, 765 - 805 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs
laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might
cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have
been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
In accordance with IEC 60417, this machine uses the following symbols for the
main power switch:
•ameans POWER ON.
•bmeans POWER OFF.

-Notice:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential in-
stallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency ener-
gy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio /TV technician for help.
