THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:
DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning. You may suffer an injury
using a Tieline codec during a thunderstorm. This can lead to personal injury and in extreme
cases may be fatal. Protective devices can be fitted to the line, however, due to the
extremely high voltages and energy levels involved in lightning strikes, these devices may
not offer protection to the users, or the Tieline codec and equipment connected to the
codec.
Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning strikes and
also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only need to be near an
object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage to equipment. e.g. if you are
located near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features and drains on golf courses,
you may be affected by these secondary strikes.
Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the codec
is turned off but remains connected to the ISDN system, the LAN or the power.

you are qualified to do so.
· All work should be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
· This unit has more than one power supply. Disconnect all power cables before
maintenance to avoid electric shock.
HIGH VOLTAGE WARNINGS:
· Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage must be
avoided as much as possible and, when inevitable, must be carried out only by a skilled
person who is aware of the hazard involved.
· Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has been
disconnected from its source of supply.
