Safety Considerations

The StormPort 401 eSled Modem complies with the regulatory requirements of
CSA C22.2#950-M95 for Canada and UL 1950 Edition 3 for the United States.
Although this product is designed with your complete safety in mind, there are
precautions you should adhere to for your individual safety as well as the safety
of your equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to the
following:

• Read and understand all instructions.

• Place your modem on a stable surface. Dropping the modem can cause

damage that is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

• Do not disassemble the modem! Opening the unit may expose you to electrical

shock!

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Do not use modem near water to avoid shock hazard.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone

line has been disconnected.

• Avoid installing telephone wiring during an electrical storm.

• Do not place objects on top of modem.
