Electro-Static Discharge Warning
Internal components of the Protegé 616 KSU and dig-
ital keysets are static sensitive. Handle expansion
boards by the edges only and keep replacement com-
ponents in their protective case until installation. Do
not bend or touch component pins or subject them to
static discharge. When working with an open 616
KSU or digital keyset, use an anti-static wrist strap
and cover the work surface with anti-static material.
Any static charge (no matter how small) must be dis-
charged from the body before touching any internal
components. The warranty for this equipment does
not cover damage caused by static or mishandling.
Modules or components damaged in such a manner
will not be replaced.
Hazardous Voltage Warnings
The equipment owner is responsible for protecting
the equipment from hazardous voltages.
The Protegé 616 system was submitted to a
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL),
such as ETL, for safety approvals. Before installation,
check your local electrical codes for installation of
telephone and electronic equipment.
The following safety information is from UL 1459,
Issue 2, a product safety specification governing tele-
phone equipment.
