Safety when working with electricity

Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line volt- ages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

WARNING

For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a listed imited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local reg- ulatory requirements.

For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all appli- cable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.

For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must have an earth ground.

For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

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

Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel.

WARNING

This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise equipment.

WARNING

In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/ 96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.
