Dangerous voltages may be present on the cables connected to the MEX6200:
• Never connect cables to an MEX6200 unit if it is not properly installed and grounded. This
means that its power cable must be inserted in an outlet provided with a protective ground
(earth) contact before connecting any user or network cable to the MEX6200
• Disconnect all the cables connected to the connectors of the MEX6200 before disconnect-
ing the unit’s power cable.
• In Finland, Norway and Sweden, CLASS I PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT TYPE A must
have the following marking text to state that the equipment must be permanently connected
to an earthed mains socket-outlet:
• In Finland: "Laite on liitettävä suojakoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan"
• In Norway: "Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt"
• In Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag"
