3. Cleaning

Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet before 

cleaning it. Do not use liquid aerosol cleaners. Use 

a damp soft cloth for cleaning.

4. Attachments

Never add any attachments and/or equipment 

without the approval of the manufacturer as such 

additions may result in the risk of fire, electric 

shock or other personal injury.

5. Water and/or Moisture

Do not use this equipment near water or in contact 

with water.

6. Accessories

Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, 

stand or table. The equipment may fall, causing 

serious injury to a child or adult, and serious 

damage to the equipment. Wall or shelf mounting 

should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, 

and should use a mounting kit approved by the 

manufacturer.

7. Power Sources

This equipment should be operated only from the 

type of power source indicated on the marking 

label. If you are not sure of the type of power, 

please consult your equipment dealer or local 

power company.

8. Power Cords

Operator or installer must remove power and 

communications connections before handling the 

equipment.

9. Lightning

For added protection for this equipment during a 

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and 

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from 

the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. 

This will prevent damage to the equipment due to 

lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as 

this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

11. Objects and Liquids

Never push objects of any kind through openings 

of this equipment as they may touch dangerous 

voltage points or short out parts that could result 

in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any 

kind on the equipment.

12. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. 

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

13. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and 

refer servicing to qualified service personnel under 

the following conditions:

A.

 When the power-supply cord or the plug has 

been damaged.

B.

 If liquid is spilled, or objects have fallen into the 

equipment.

C.

 If the equipment has been exposed to rain or 

water.

D.

 If the equipment does not operate normally by 

following the operating instructions, adjust only 

those controls that are covered  by the operating 

instructions as an improper adjustment of other 

controls  may result in damage and will often 

require extensive work by a qualified technician to 

restore the equipment to its normal operation.

E.

 If the equipment has been dropped, or the 

cabinet damaged.

F.

 When the equipment exhibits a distinct change 

in performance —this indicates a need for service.

14. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the 

service technician has used replacement parts 

specified by the manufacturer or that have the same 

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized 

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or 

other hazards.

15. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this 

equipment, ask the service technician to perform 

safety checks to determine that the equipment is in 

proper operating condition.

16. Field Installation

This installation should be made by a qualified 

service person and should conform to all local 

codes.

17. Correct Batteries

Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced 

by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries 

according to the instructions.

18. Tmra

A manufacturer’s maximum recommended ambient 

temperature (Tmra) for the equipment must 

be specified so that the customer and installer 

may determine a suitable maximum operating 

environment for the equipment.

19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, 

the operating ambient temperature of the rack 

environment may be greater than room ambient. 

Therefore, consideration should be given to 

installing the equipment in an environment 

compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated 

ambient temperature (Tmra).

20. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in the rack should be 

such that the amount of airflow required for safe 

operation of the equipment is not compromised.

21. Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be 

such that a hazardous condition is not caused by 

uneven mechanical loading.

22. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to connection of 

the equipment to supply circuit and the effect 

that overloading of circuits might have on over 

current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate 

consideration of equipment nameplate ratings 

should be used when addressing this concern.

23. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment 

should be maintained. Particular attention should 

be given to supply connections other than direct 

connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of 

power strips).
