compliance with the above conditions may not prevent 
degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certifi ed 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.

provided by the telephone company.

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 verifi ed 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 qualifi ed 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. This 
device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. The term
