Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 1840 Routers
OL-10257-02
Safety
Before installing the 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 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 system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

section on page 14
in this document, the following warnings and safety guidelines apply to routers used
in the United Kingdom:
•
The router is designed to meet the requirements of interim CTR3 for Basic Rate Access.
•
Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports marked:
“
Safety Warning—See instructions for use
”
with ports marked or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions on the network, and that
advice should be obtained from a competent engineer before such a connection is made.
•
The BRI connector must be hardwired permanently to the S-reference connection point by using a
connect one-time-only, nonremovable plug (RJ-45 with the latch tab removed).
•
The ports marked “10BaseT,” “Console,” and “ISDN” have a safety warning applied to them as
follows:
“These ports do not provide isolation sufficient to satisfy the requirement of EN41003; apparatus
connected to these ports should either have been approved to EN41003 or have previously been
evaluated against B5E301 British Telecommunications plc (Post Office) Technical Guides 2 or 26
and given permission to attach; any other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.”
Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus if as a result it ceases to comply with
EN41003:1993.
•
This apparatus must be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective earth contact.
