HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage
due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When
performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control
precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the
proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service
representative.
The installation location should be well ventilated, clean, and free of environmental
extremes. Allow clearance at the front of the POTS splitter chassis to provide
access to the cables.
