Industry Canada (IC)

Information

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada (IC) radio and

terminal equipment technical specifications. This is confirmed by the

certification/registration number found on the label on the bottom of

the base unit. The abbreviation IC before the certification/registration

number only signifies that registration was performed based on a

Declaration of Conformity and that the Industry Canada technical

specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada

approved the equipment. The term “IC:” before the certification/

registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical

specifications were met.

The Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment is 0.0. The

REN is useful in determining the maximum number of devices you

may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices

ring when your telephone number is called. The sum of the RENs of all

devices connected to one line may not exceed 5.

Before installing this cordless phone, you should make sure that it is

permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

telecommunications company. The equipment must be installed using

an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the

telecommunications company’s inside wiring associated with a single

line individual service may be extended by means of a certified

connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should be aware

that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent

degradation of service in some situations.

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises

wiring and telephone network must comply with the rules and

requirements in Industry Canada’s CS-03. A compliant telephone cord

and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be

connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

MD480_EN_CA-Only.book Page 4 Thursday, July 15, 2004 11:57 PM

For your protection, ensure 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:

You should not attempt to make such connections yourself.

Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an

electrician, as appropriate.

Note:

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to

the telephone line, ensure the installation of this cordless phone does

not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what

will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a

qualified installer.

Repairs

Repairs to this equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian

maintenance facility designated by Motorola. Any repairs or alterations

made by the consumer, or any malfunctions of this equipment, may

give the telecommunications company cause to request that you

disconnect the equipment, and may void the limited warranty.

Privacy

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this

telephone. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may

interfere with the operation of this cordless phone or cause noise

during operation. Units without code access may be accessed by other

radio communications devices.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

This telephone system meets Industry Canada standards for hearing

aid compatibility.

Interference Information

This device complies with Industry Canada’s RSS-210. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for

a Class B digital device, pursuant to Industry Canada’s ICES-003.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy 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 determined by turning the equipment on and

off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference with one or

more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for

radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

•

Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the

telecommunications equipment and the receiving antenna.

•

Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is

connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult

your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional

suggestions.

Industry Canada publishes several publications to assist consumers

with solving interference problems, which are available from its offices

or from its web site (strategis.gc.ca).
