IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to 
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous” voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual.

SAFEGAURDS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to 
assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order 
not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following instructions for its installation, use and servicing.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. 
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

1- Maximum operating ambient temperature is 50°C (122°F).
2- Never restrict airflow through the device fan or vents. Please insure that the air intake and exhaust 
vents are unobstructed.
3- When installing equipment into rack, distribute the units evenly. Otherwise, hazardous conditions 
could be created by an uneven weight distribution.
4- Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit. The BASIS 922dz is suitable for connection to 
100 - 240 VAC, 47 - 440 hertz, with no special considerations other than the appropriate IEC power cord.
5- Reliable Earthing (Grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

LITHIUM BATTERY WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS A NON-RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY. LITHIUM IS A CHEMICAL 
KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER OR BIRTH DEFECTS. THE NON-RECHARGE-
ABLE LITHIUM BATTERY CONTAINED IN THIS EQUIPMENT MAY EXPLODE IF IT IS EXPOSED TO FIRE OR 
EXTREME HEAT. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT THE BATTERY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE THE NON-

FCC INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, 
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance to the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in 
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by switching the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
