General Safety Practices
The equipment discussed in this document may require tools designed for the purpose being described.
RLH recommends that service personnel be familiar with the correct handling and use of any installation
equipment used, and follow all safety precautions including the use of protective personal equipment as
required.
Caution - Severe Shock Hazard
•
Never install during a lightning storm or where unsafe high voltages are present.
•
Active phone lines may carry high DC voltages. Use caution when handling copper wiring.
•
Observe the power requirements of this device and use appropriate power sources.
Special Handling Requirements
Be careful when handling electronic components
"
•
This product contains static sensitive components.
•
Handle the cards at their edges only.
•
Follow proper electrostatic discharge procedures.
This card utilizes circuitry that can be damaged by static electricity. When transporting the card, carry it in
an ESD safe container such as the antistatic bag provided with the card. Before handling cards, discharge
yourself of static electricity by physical bodily contact with earth ground. When handling cards, hold by
outer edges and avoid touching circuitry. Failure to follow ESD precautions may cause serious damage to
the card and prevent proper operation.
Warning
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment MUST NOT be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to
connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
