Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the manual.
2. This product (when not powered by the optional direct feed cable) is intended to be used with a 3-wire grounding
type plug – a plug which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe
operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for the presence of earth ground.
If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a qualified electrician has
corrected the problem.
If a 3-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to determine another
method of grounding the equipment.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where persons will walk on the
power cord.
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous high
voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be required by the regulatory
inspection authority for the installation site, are the responsibility of the customer.
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety Standards and

installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition.
Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary,
implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
