Turn the TDR6 Off When Changing Circuit Boards

Turn the TDR6 off before installing or removing any circuit boards from chassis slots. Possible damage may occur to modem, boards, or related equipment if power is left on during this procedure.

Provide Antistatic Protection

Wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap to prevent electrostatic damage to components when handling circuit boards or other electronic modules.

Keep Objects Outside

Touching internal TDR6 parts is dangerous to both you and the unit. Never put any object, including your fingers, through slots or openings, as this could result in touching dangerous voltage points, short-circuiting parts, electric shock, or fire.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the TDR6. If an object falls into the equipment, unplug the unit and contact Tiernan Customer Service, as serious damage could occur to the unit or its components.

Use Approved Attachments Only

Use only Tiernan-approved option cards and equipment with the TDR6.

Clean the TDR6

Before cleaning the TDR6, unplug it from the wall outlet. Do not use any type of abrasive pads, scouring powders, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol or benzene.

Use only a clean, soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Wipe all equipment with a clean, soft cloth lightly moistened with water to remove the detergent solution.

Service the TDR6

Do not attempt to service the TDR6 yourself, as there are no user-serviceable parts. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards as well as void your warranty. Contact Tiernan Customer Service to obtain qualified service personnel.

The following conditions indicate that the equipment needs servicing:

The power cord or plug has been damaged.

An object has fallen into the TDR6.

Liquid has been spilled into the TDR6, or it has been exposed to rain or water.

The unit has been dropped or the cover has been damaged.

The TDR6 does not operate normally, or it shows a marked change in performance.

Perform Safety Checks

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the TDR6, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to verify that the system is in safe operating condition.
