Industry Canada (CS-03)
The Canadian 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, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connect-
ed 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 in-
side 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 ser-
vice 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 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 appro-
priate.
NOTICE:
The LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the per-
centage 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 combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the LOAD NUMBERS of all the
devices does not exceed 100.
