Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket)

must have an earth ground.

 

For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnect- ing cables are rated for proper voltage, current, antici- pated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have haz- ardous voltages present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to inter- faces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazard- ous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use caution when working near these ports. When discon- necting cables for these ports, detach the far end con- nection first.
