Important Safety Information
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or
excessive moisture.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) WARNING:
Unauthorized modifications to this equipment not only void the warranty, but also void the
user’s authority to operate it.
WARNING:
There are no user or installer serviceable parts in any
audioShare
®
devices.
Do not disassemble any devices or attempt to repair or replace components. Doing so may
damage the device or cause it to cease functioning properly. The user warranty will also
be voided.
WARNING:
Even though Cat. 5 wiring and RJ45 connections are used to interconnect
devices, the
audioShare
®
system uses a proprietary networking scheme and is
NOT
COMPATIBLE
with Ethernet devices.
Connecting any
audioShare
®
compatible device
(wall stations, door stations, hubs, power injector modules or control relay modules) to
Ethernet compatible devices will result in damage to the
audioShare
®
device, the Ethernet
device, or both. Resulting damage is not covered under the warranties of either type of
device.
WARNING:
audioShare
®
devices contain complex electronic circuitry that is highly
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
audioShare
®
units have been designed to shunt
electrostatic discharge away from these sensitive circuits. In order for this protection to be
fully effective,
the system power supply must be connected directly to an
electrical/earth ground
. Failure to properly ground the
audioShare
®
power supply will void
the warranty and is in violation of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
WARNING:
Use only the certified
audioShare
®
power supply provided with the system.
Use of unauthorized power supplies may cause erratic or diminished operation and will void
the warranty.
WARNING:
It is common practice to acid wash exterior brick or stone walls or to power
wash homes with siding or stucco exteriors. Doing this with an exposed
audioShare
®
device will damage the unit. Resulting damage is not covered under the warranty. Always
be sure to remove the unit and protect the Cat 5 wires and the RJ45 connectors before
performing these washes.
CAUTION:
The
audioShare
®
system power supply operates at 50 VDC, which is present
on all system wiring and at each device connected to the system. Use caution when
installing, uninstalling or troubleshooting equipment. Disconnect system power supply
before installing, interconnecting, replacing or removing any
audioShare
®
equipment. It is
possible for 50 VDC to still be present on
audioShare
®
devices for several minutes after
power has been disconnected.
