Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the
manual.
2. When an ac power source is used, this product 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 regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary,
consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure
compliance.
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more
buildings. If products 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.
9. Input power to the ac voltage configuration of this product must be provided by a UL-listed or
CSA-certified power source with a Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) output. Input power
to the dc voltage configurations of this product must be provided by a National Electric Code
(NEC) or a Canadian Electric Code (CEC) Class 2 circuit.
10. This product contains a coin cell lithium battery that is only to be replaced at the factory.
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same type. Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Attention: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer
uniquement avec une batterie du même type. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées
conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
11. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the following
precautions:
—
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 uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
—
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
—
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may
be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
—
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
