ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES FOR CANADI-

NOTICE: The Canadian Department of
Communications label identifies certified equip-
ment. 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 satisfaction.
Before installing the 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 made by an authorized Canadian main-
tenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alteration made by the user to this equip-
ment, 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 utili-
ty, 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 soon as possible.
NOTICE: 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 com-
bination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the load numbers of all devices does
