Electrical Safety Guidelines
Danger: Do not work on the Mediatrix unit, connect or disconnect its cables during periods of lightning.
Danger: Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Warning: The earth ground cable must be firmly and securely connected to the grounding screw on the back of the Mediatrix unit and an appropriate
grounding point in your site: the earth ground cable must remain tightly secured at all times during service and installation.
Warning: Disconnect all interface cables (including
) before unplugging any power sources from the Mediatrix unit.
PRI, FXS, and FXO
Warning: Disconnect all interface cables (including
) as well as all power sources connected to the Mediatrix unit before servicing the
PRI, FXS, and FXO
unit.
Warning: This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel. Incorrectly connecting this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could
be hazardous.
Warning: This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120
VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 10 A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning: The unit must be grounded at all times when in use.
Warning: The earth ground connection between the grounding screw on the back of the Mediatrix unit and an appropriate grounding point in your site must
always be made first and disconnected last.
Warning: Do not connect the ETH2, ETH1,LAN, and FXS connectors directly to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), to an off premise
application, an out of plant application, any exposed plant application, or to any equipment other than the intended application, connection may result in a
safety hazard, and/or defective operation and/or equipment damage. Exposed plant means where any portion of the circuit is subject to accidental contact
with electric lighting or power conductors operating at a voltage exceeding 300 V between conductors or is subject to lightning strikes.
Warning: The Mediatrix unit must be installed on a circuit equipped with a breaker so that you can easily power the unit off if required.
Warning: Hazardous network voltages may be present in PRI and FXO cables. Always disconnect the cables from the Mediatrix unit first to avoid possible
electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the device in the area of the
port, even when power is turned OFF.
PRI and FXO
Warning: Adequate earth ground connection of the Mediatrix unit is mandatory to avoid any damage or injuries.
Warning: Hazardous network voltages might be present in WAN, LAN, Sync, and telephony port connectors regardless of whether power to the device is
OFF or ON. Use caution when working near these connectors to avoid electric shocks.
Warning: The socket outlet, if used, shall be located near the equipment and shall be easily accessible by the user. The AC adaptor inlet is considered as
a disconnection device. The device must be readily operational.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.
Caution: The RJ-11 cable should comply with UL 1863 and CSA C22.2 No 233 standards.

General Safety Practices
Warning: Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming
pool.
Warning: Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture to avoid any shock hazard.
Warning: Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Warning: Do not get this product wet or pour liquids into it.
Warning: Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Caution: If the unit is installed in a closed environment or on a multi-unit rack, the ambient temperature of the environment next to the Media5 unit may
become greater than the maximum operating temperature recommended by Media5 for the use of its units, i.e. 40ºC. The Mediatrix unit should never be
used to temperatures greater than the recommended maximum operating temperature. Any damage occurring in such environmental conditions will void
the warranty.
Keep your Mediatrix unit clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn
off the power.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Do not open or disassemble this product.
The unit should be located at 20 cm from your monitor, computer casing or other peripheral including speakers.
When the unit is brought from a cold to a warm environment, condensation, that might be harmful to the unit, may occur. If this is the case, wait
one hour before powering the unit.

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
When working on a Mediatrix unit, always wear an ESD wrist strap, ensuring that it makes a good contact with your bare skin.
Attach the ESD wrist strap end to an earth ground i.e. the grounding screw on the back of the Mediatrix unit or on an unpainted bare metal spot of
a grounded equipment rack.
