Important Safety Instructions
Warning: Do not use before reading these instructions.
Do not connect the Broadband Ethernet port (labeled ONT) to a carrier or carriage service
provider’s telecommunications network or facility unless:
A)
You have the written consent of the network or facility manager, or
B)
The connection is in accordance with a connection permit or connection rules.
Connection of the Ethernet ports may cause a hazard or damage to the telecommunication
network or facility, or persons, with consequential liability for substantial compensation.
WARNINGS
The power supply must be connected to an outlet. Do not defeat the protective earth
connection. The direct plug-in power supply serves as the main power disconnect; locate the
direct plug-in power supply near the product for easy access.
Product Ventilation
The gateway is intended for residential use. Position the gateway in an upright vertical
position and locate it where temperatures remain within a range of 32° – 107°F (0° – 41.7°C)
and where heat from the unit itself is not trapped. There must be at least two inches (2") of
clearance on all sides except the bottom.
Telecommunication Installation Cautions
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.
