SYSTEM OVERVIEW  
General  
Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Partitioned Security System. You've  
made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection  
technology today. Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and  
millions of premises are protected by Ademco systems.  
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your  
system consists of at least one keypad which provides control of system operation,  
and includes various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,  
plus smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.  
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and  
system status, display appropriate information on the keypad(s) used with the system,  
and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to  
automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm  
monitoring station.  
A Partitioned  
System  
Simply stated, a partitioned system is a single physical alarm system that provides  
independent areas of protection intended for use by independent users. For the most  
part, you need not know about other users and their structure in the system, but from  
time to time, you may see display messages which indicate the system is in use by  
another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. A partitioned system may also have  
a "common zone" area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions. Refer to  
the COMMON ZONE OPERATION section for details on using this feature.  
Zones  
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example,  
the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01,  
sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These  
numbers will appear on the display, along with a description for that zone (if  
programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW  
Burglary  
Protection  
Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and  
MAXIMUM, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the  
system armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your  
system before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode,  
for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is  
disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these  
features.  
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Security Codes  
Fire Protection  
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit security code,  
known only to you. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the  
system, and when performing other system functions. As an additional safety feature,  
other users who do not have a need to know your code can be assigned different  
security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding  
security codes to the system.  
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will  
sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM  
section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and  
planning emergency exit routes from the premises.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW  
Alarms  
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the  
keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a  
central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent. To stop the alarm  
sounding, simply disarm the system.  
Memory of Alarm  
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that  
caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains  
displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM  
section).  
Phone Access &  
Voice  
Your system may include a voice module that will permit you to access the system via  
a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access  
feature will enable you to do the following:  
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the  
security system.  
Response  
Capability  
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone,  
with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.  
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate  
manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the voice  
module.  
Paging Feature  
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to  
certain conditions as they occur in your system. Your pager will display code numbers  
indicating the type of condition that has occurred. Refer to the PAGING FEATURE  
section later in this manual for detailed information.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS  
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever  
you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit  
door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any  
arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a  
slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.  
General  
Information  
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the  
designated entrance door. But you must disarm the system before the entry delay  
period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period,  
reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The  
first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary  
entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.  
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or  
MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the  
premises or while away for extended periods of time.  
See your installer for your delay times.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS  
Exit Alarms  
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is  
faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and  
starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm  
sound stops and the message "CANCELLED ALARM" or "CA" is displayed on the keypad,  
along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm  
monitoring company.  
To minimize false alarms  
sent to the alarm  
monitoring company,  
your system may have  
been programmed for  
this feature. Ask your  
installer if "Exit Alarm" is  
active for your system.  
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the display, enter  
your code plus OFF.  
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior  
zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm  
monitoring company. The message ""EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along  
with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the system must be  
disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.  
Exit Alarm Active  
An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes  
after the end of the exit delay.  
COMMON ZONE OPERATION  
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is an area shared by users of  
both partitions, such as a foyer or lobby. If so, please note the following:  
• The common zone will sound and report alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only  
one partition is armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.  
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other  
partition will not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is  
corrected.  
Ask your  
installer if a common  
zone was assigned.  
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on keypads in both partitions.  
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.

ABOUT THE KEYPADS  
General  
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a  
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the  
nature and location of all occurrences.  
IMPORTANT: If the key-  
pad beeps rapidly upon  
entering the premises, it  
indicates that an alarm  
has occurred during  
your absence and an  
intruder may still be on  
the premises. LEAVE  
IMMEDIATELY and  
CONTACT THE POLICE  
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and  
troubles. The keypads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during  
entry/exit delay times, in CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to  
acknowledge the key press).  
There are two basic types of keypads – a Fixed-Word keypad and an Alpha key-  
pad (both described below). These keypads are available in two styles, shown as  
style A and style B, either of which may have been used in your system. Although  
different in appearance, both styles are functionally the same. Style B keypads have  
a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired.

2-Line Alpha Keypad  
2-line Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character alphanumeric LCD which can  
display system messages in friendly English. These keypads can also be  
programmed with custom zone descriptors. The screen displays depicted in this  
manual are those that typically appear on a 2-line Alpha keypad.  
1-Line Alpha Keypad 1-line Alpha keypads feature a 16-character alphanumeric LCD which can display  
system messages in friendly English. Messages are the same as those for 2-line  
Alpha keypads, but are displayed one line at a time. To view the second line of the  
message, simply press the  
or wait 3 seconds.

key, wait at least 3 seconds before entering a command.  
Fixed-Word Keypad  
Fixed-Word keypads are functionally identical to Alpha keypads, but the LCD display  
uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

PAGING FEATURE  
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to  
certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code. This  
code indicates the type of condition that has occurred.  
General  
Code Format  
The 10-digit pager code takes the following form:  
SSSS-EEE-NNN  
SSSS = 4-digit subscriber number (this number will always appear at the beginning of  
the pager display)  
EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred as follows:  
911 = Alarm (NNN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm)  
001 = Open, system disarmed (NNN following indicates user number)  
002 = Close, system armed (NNN following indicates user number)  
811 = Trouble (NNN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble)  
NNN = 3-digit user or zone number, depending on the type of event that occurred  
Examples:  
Pager displays: 1234–911–004  
This indicates that your system (subscriber 1234) is reporting an alarm (911) due to a  
fault on zone 4 (004).  
Pager displays: 1234–001–005  
This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (001) by user 5 (005).

SECURITY CODES  
General Information  
As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have a need to know your code  
can be assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by  
"user numbers," which are selected when assigning a user's security code. You can  
assign up 14 additional user codes (user numbers 03-16), including the babysitter and  
duress codes. Note that the master (primary) user of the system is the only one who  
can assign codes to secondary (or temporary) users, and is user number 02; user  
number 01 is reserved for the installer of the system.  
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system  
armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the  
exception of the babysitter code described below.  
Babysitter Code This code can be used to arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the  
system unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to  
someone (such as a babysitter) who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at  
certain times. The babysitter code is assigned to user 15. The user of this code should  
not use the “Quick Arming” feature described below.  
Duress Code  
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system  
under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm  
monitoring company of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress code is  
assigned to user 16.  
Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a alarm  
monitoring company.  
Quick Arming  
Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the  
#
key can be  
pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code must  
always be used to disarm the system, however.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)  
General  
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous  
protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will  
automatically activate you security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from  
the Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders.  
A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence and clear  
the alarm display.  
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the  
problem, go to your nearest Keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key  
pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down  
for at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.  
In Case Of Fire  
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.  
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire  
Department immediately.  
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone  
descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will appear at the Keypad.  
Silencing A Fire  
Alarm  
1. Silence the alarm by pressing the OFF key. To clear the alarm display, enter your  
code and press the OFF key again.  
2. If the Keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check  
that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat producing objects in  
their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.  
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear  
it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.  
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and  
pressing the OFF key.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSN.  
RECOMMENDATIONS ON SMOKE DETECTORS  
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the  
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #74  
noted below.  
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all  
rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each  
separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story  
of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.  
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room,  
dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,  
basements and attached garages.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION  
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The  
following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:  
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they  
can be heard by all occupants.  
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape  
should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other  
may be a window, should your path be unpassable. Station an escape  
ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground.  
2ND FLOOR  
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and  
rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room.  
Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape  
routes in every room.  
BACK DOOR  
1ST FLOOR  
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will  
prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.  
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the  
door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or  
heat rushes in.  
•
•
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since  
smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.  
BACK  
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.  
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where  
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and ac-  
count for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to  
the house — many die going back.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM  
Taking Care of  
Your System  
The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as  
possible. However, to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition.  
1. Test your system weekly.  
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE SYSTEM).  
Replacing  
Batteries in  
Wireless  
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects  
a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke detectors, the optional personal  
emergency transmitter, and the optional portable wireless keypad. (A low battery in a  
portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the  
wired keypad will display “00”.)  
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and  
applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt lithium batteries provide up to 4 or  
more years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the  
sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to  
send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low  
temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead to the reduction of actual  
battery life in an installation.  
Sensors  
Wireless sensors  
may not have been  
used in your  
security system  
If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, a low battery message i s  
displayed on the keypad.  
In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits a single  
"chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke  
detector with the weak battery.  
Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in  
indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor causing a low  
battery indication is still fully operational.  
Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as replacement.

soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the  
low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the display will  
automatically clear within approximately 1 hour.  
Routine Care  
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical  
equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.  
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on  
motion sensors and smoke detectors.  
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not  
spray water or any other fluid on the units.

GLOSSARY  
The following terms are used throughout the manual.  
ARM/DISARM: "Armed" simply means that the burglary portion of your system is turned ON and is in a  
state of readiness. "Disarmed" means that the burglary system is turned OFF, and  
must be rearmed to become operational. However, even in a "disarmed" state,  
"emergency" and "fire" portions of your system are still operational.  
KEYPAD: This is the area on your Keypad containing numbered pushbuttons similar to those on  
telephones or calculators. These keys control the arming or disarming of the system,  
and perform other functions which were previously described in this manual.  
ZONE: A specific area of protection.  
PARTITION: An independent group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting  
other zones or users.  
BYPASS: To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while leaving other areas operational.  
DELAY ZONE: An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit (typically, a  
front door, back door, or door from the garage into the building). The delay zone allows  
sufficient time for authorized entry or exit without causing an alarm. Consult your  
installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been set for your system during  
installation and record them in the space provided in this manual on page 7.  
DAY/NIGHT ZONE: An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication during the disarmed  
(DAY) mode and an alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT  
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires the following  
statement for your information:  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with  
the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the  
following measures:  
• If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.  
• Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.  
• Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.  
• Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.  
• Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different branch circuits.  
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.  
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "Interference  
Handbook". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.  
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation Instructions or User's  
Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.  
IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS  
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the RJ31X (CA38A in Canada)  
telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do  
not disconnect the phone connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular  
phone works correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the control/communicator has a  
problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the control/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify  
the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or  
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized service agency for all  
repairs.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other  
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.  
For example:  
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or  
disconnect an alarm warning device.  
• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power.  
Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices  
powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.  
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal  
path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.  
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.  
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or  
provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency  
Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows.  
Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke  
cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may  
not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or  
basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In  
general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent  
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or  
arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as  
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.  
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual.  
Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion  
can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place  
behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or  
spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive  
Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the  
temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
(continued)  
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side  
of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less  
likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled  
from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not  
warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.  
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or  
temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.  
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves  
from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.  
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as  
long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.  
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm  
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.  
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.  
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives  
and property.  
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to  
learn about these developments.

CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS (DOC) STATEMENT  
NOTICE  
AVIS  
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.  
L'étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le  
matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme  
à certaines normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des  
réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère n'assure toutefois pas que  
le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.  
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de  
le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de  
télécommunications. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant  
une méthode acceptée de raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils  
intérieurs de l'entreprise utilisés pour un service individuel à la ligne  
unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d'un dispositif homologué de  
raccordement (cordon prolongateur téléphonique interne). L'abonné ne  
doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions  
énoncées ci-dessus n'empèchet pas la dégradation du service dans  
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunications  
ne permettent pas que l'on raccorde leur matériel aux prises d'abonnés,  
sauf dans les cas precis prévus par les tarifs particuliers de ces  
entreprises.  
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 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 to disconnect the equipment.  
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être effectuées pas un  
centre d'entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La  
compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de  
débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications  
effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.  
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: User should not attempt to make such connections themselves,  
but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or  
electrician, as appropriate.  
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de  
mise en terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques  
de réseau de conduites d'eau s'il y en a, soient raccordés ensemble.  
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.  
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces  
raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service d'inspection  
des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.  
L'indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal pour éviter  
toute surcharge indique le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être  
raccordé à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La  
terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être constituée de n'importe quelle  
combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge  
de l'ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.  
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 combination of devices subject only to the requirement  
that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
