1. Safety and Care Information
▲
The safety of the user/installer relies on the isolation of the telephone
network and not on the earthing of the case
▲
Please read these instructions thoroughly before starting installation.
These products must be installed by competent personnel familiar with
telephone installation.
▲
Telephone network voltages can be hazardous. Take adequate
precautions when opening the case or installing. If in doubt, disconnect
the telephone line elsewhere before accessing the line connections.
▲
For increased protection against lightning transients, attach a local
earth to the main terminal block (see section 5)
▲
Do not fit a terminating resistor across the telephone terminals. The
system does not require a terminating resistor, fitting a resistor may
prevent the telephone from initiating a call.
