SHOCK!
To avoid electrical shock hazard to personnel
or equipment, observe the following
precautions when installing telephone
equipment:
• Never install telephone wiring during a
lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch noninsulated telephone wires
or terminals unless the telephone line has
been disconnected at the network
interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying
the telephone lines.
CAUTION!
To eliminate the possibility of accidental
damage to cords, plugs, jacks, and other
system components, do not use sharp
instruments during assembly procedures.

(when lines between the Meridian 1 system
