Safety Warnings and Cautions 

For your safety

 and the proper operation of the device: 

This unit must be installed and serviced by suitably qualified personnel only. 

Do not break the warranty seals on the device or open the lid. Only approved service 
technicians are permitted to service this equipment. 

Disconnect all power before servicing the unit. 

Do not expose this device to rain or other moisture. Clean only with a dry cloth. 

If not installed in an equipment rack, install the product securely on a stable surface. 

Install the product in a protected location where no on can step or trip over the 
supply cord, and where the supply cord will not be damaged. 

If a system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient 
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient 
temperature. 

Consideration should be given to installing the unit in an environment compatible 
with the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 50 degrees Celcius (122 
degrees Fahrenheit). 

Install the unit in a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is 
not compromised. 

The recommended clearance on the top and sides of the unit is at least ½ “ 
(one half inch/one centimeter). 

Mounting of the unit in a rack should be such that no hazardous condition is achieved 
due to uneven mechanical loading. 

Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the unit to a power source. 

Reliable earth grounding of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. 

Particular attention should be given to supply connection other than direct 
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Note

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

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 off and on, the user
