2 Warnings and Safety Information
THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:
DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning. You may suffer an injury
using a Tieline codec, or any device connected to a LAN connection during a
thunderstorm. This can lead to personal injury and in extreme cases may be fatal.
Protective devices can be fitted to lines, however, due to the extremely high voltages and
energy levels involved in lightning strikes, these devices may not offer protection to users,
the Tieline codec and equipment connected to the codec.
Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning strikes and
also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only need to be near an
object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage to equipment. e.g. if located
near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features and drains on golf courses you may
be affected by these secondary strikes.
Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the
codec is turned off but is connected to the system or the power.
