IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

When installing telephone equipment, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including:

■Read and understand all instructions.

■Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or packed with the product.

■Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

■Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

■Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone wiring has been disconnected at the network interface.

■Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

■Use only Lucent Technologies-manufactured MERLIN LEGEND Communications System circuit modules, carrier assemblies, and power units in the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System control unit.

■Use only Lucent Technologies-recommended/approved MERLIN LEGEND Communications System accessories.

■If equipment connected to the analog extension modules (008, 408, 408 GS/LS) or to the MLX telephone modules (008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX) is to be used for in-range out-of-building (IROB) applications, IROB protectors are required.

■Do not install this product near water, for example, in a wet basement location.

■Do not overload wall outlets, as this can result in the risk of fire or electrical shock.

■The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
