ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES

FOR CANADIAN USERS

The following items are included

as part of the CS-03 Requirements.

The standard connecting

arrangement for the equipment is

CA11A. This product meets the

applicable Industry Canada

technical specifications.

NOTICE: The Canadian

Department of Communications

Important Safety

Instructions

label identifies certified equipment.

This certification means that the

equipment meets certain

telecommunications network

protective operational and safety

requirements. The Department

does not guarantee that 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. In some

cases, the company’s inside

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 service 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 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

appropriate. The Ringer Equivalent

Number is an indication of the

maximum number of terminals

allowed to be connected to a

telephone interface. The

termination on an interface may

consist of any combination of

devices subject only to the

requirement that the sum of the

Ringer Equivalent Number of all

the devices not exceed five.

Regulatory Compliance

Part 68 of FCC Rules

Information

This equipment complies with Part

68 of the FCC rules and the

requirements adopted by the

ACTA. On the bottom of this

equipment is a label that contains,

among other information, a

product identifier in the format

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested,

this

number must be provided to the

telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect

this equipment

to the premises

wiring and telephone network

must comply with the applicable

FCC Part 68 rules and requirements

adopted by the ACTA. A compliant

telephone cord and modular plug

,

RJ11 USOC, is provided with this

product. It is designed to be

connected to a compatible modular

jack that is also compliant. See

installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the

number of devices that may be

connected to a telephone line.

Excessive RENs on a telephone

line may result in the devices not

ringing in response to an incoming

call. In most but not all areas, the

sum of RENs should not exceed

five (5.0). To be certain of the

number of devices that may be

connected to a line, as determined

by the total RENs, contact the

local telephone company. For

products approved after July 23,

2001, the REN for this product is

part of the product identifier that

has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are

the REN without a decimal point

(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For

earlier products,

the REN is

separately shown on the label.

If this telephone equipment, the

XL-40 telephone, causes harm to

the telephone network, the

telephone company will notify you

in advance that temporary

discontinuance of service may be

required. But if advance notice

isn’t practical, the telephone

company will notify the customer

as soon as possible. Also, you will

be advised of your right to file a

complaint with the FCC if you

The telephone company may

make changes in its facilities,

equipment, operations or procedures

that could affect the operation of

the equipment. If this happens the

telephone company will provide

advance notice in order for you to

make necessary modifications to

maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this

telephone equipment, for repair or

warranty information, please contact

Walker / Ameriphone, 1-800-

874-3005. If the equipment is

causing harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company

the equipment until the problem is

resolved.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS

EQUIPMENT.

This telephone equipment is not

intended to be repaired and it

contains no repairable parts.

attempt to perform repairs will

void the warranty. For service or

repairs, call 1-800-874-3005.

Connection to party line service is

subject to state tariffs. Contact the

state public utility commission,

public service commission or

corporation commission for

information.

If your home has specially wired

alarm equipment connected to the

telephone line, ensure the

installation of this telephone

equipment does not disable your

alarm equipment. If you have

questions about what will disable

alarm equipment, consult your

telephone company or a qualified

installer.

This telephone equipment is

hearing aid compatible.

We recommend the installation of

an AC surge arrester in the AC

outlet to which this equipment is

connected. The telephone

companies report that electrical

surges, typically lighting transients,

are very destructive to customer

terminal equipment connected to

AC power sources.
