IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  

When using your HCB Fibre Optic Router (the unit), basic safety precautions must always be followed to reduce the 
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. Precautions include the following:  
 

 

Do not use this product near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, or in 
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool 

 

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless phone) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote 
risk of electric shock from lightning  

 

The unit will not work if the electricity supply fails, and you will not be able to make emergency calls in the 
event of power failure if you are reliant on VOIP 

 

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak 

 

Use only the power cord supplied, preferably directly into a socket and not with an extension lead  

 

Do not attempt to remove the unit from its wall mounting, nor make any attempt to dismantle it. There are no 
user serviceable components inside 

 

This is a Class 1 laser product: fibre optic radiation can cause severe eye damage or blindness. Never look 
into the open end of an optical fibre (this is not possible unless the unit is dismounted from the wall).
