Introduction
This chapter presents general safety considerations to be kept in mind when installing or replacing
Tekelec products, a listing of regulatory compliance statements and certifications that Tekelec products
support, and site requirements for installing Tekelec products.
Safety Information
Safety icons and text are used throughout Tekelec manuals to warn the reader of the potential of
personal injury, service interruption, and equipment damage. For information about what each of the
icons mean, see
Before beginning any procedure described in this manual, ensure that you are familiar with each of
the following safety admonishments. Additional safety admonishments may be included, or repeated,
for specific procedures.
Topple: Always read and understand instructions completely before working on,
moving, raising or lowering the frame, any portion of the frame, or attachments to the
frame or equipment.
Topple: Never try to unpack any frame from the shipping container without at least
two people to steady any movement of the frame and related components. At least two
people are required to safely move and position any frame.
Topple: Never pull out the shelf of any frame that is not anchored properly. Some frames
are required to be attached to overhead ladder racks before shelves are extended.
Danger: No commercially AC powered equipment may be used or placed within 7 ft.
of –48V equipment. AC powered equipment within 7 ft. of –48V equipment may create
a shock or current loop that can be severely hazardous to personnel and equipment.
Danger: Do not wear metal, chains, rings, watches, or jewelry or carry exposed metal,
keys or tools in pockets when working on system equipment or other related
electrostatic-sensitive components. Always wear a wrist strap or other electrostatic
protection when handling printed circuit boards and other electrostatic-sensitive devices.
Warning: Do not leave or allow unused metal objects, such as screws or washers, to
remain anywhere within the equipment. Remove all unused material from the equipment
