Warning
:
Disconnect all cables before servicing the Mediatrix unit.
Warning
:
Do not connect the ETH2, ETH1, 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 300V between conductors or is subject to lightning strikes.
Warning
:
The Mediatrix Sentinel 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 PRI and FXO port, even when power is turned OFF.
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 cards
connectors regardless of whether power to the device is OFF or ON. Use caution when working near
these connectors to avoid electric shock
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 unit must be installed on a circuit equipped with a breaker so that you can easily power
the unit OFF.
Caution:
The RJ-11 cable should comply with UL 1863 and CSA C22.2 No 233 standards.
