9. Cautions and Warnings

Please review the following cautions and warnings.

Environmental specifications

Operating temperature: 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C)

If you install your Fortinet product in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient 
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, make sure 
to install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient 
temperature.

Storage temperature: -13 to 158°F (-25 to 70°C)
Humidity: 20 to 90% non-condensing
Air flow - For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the 
equipment is not compromised. For free-standing installation, make sure that the appliance has at least 1.5 in. 
(3.75 cm) of clearance on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.

FCC Compliance

Your Fortinet product complies with either FCC Class A or FCC Class B rules.
The Fortinet product has been tested and found to comply with part FCC Class A, Part 15, UL/CUL, C Tick, 
CE and VCCI.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: This device may not cause harmful interference, and

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.

The Fortinet product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 
one or more of the following measures: 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled environments.

Caution:

 

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to 

your local regulations.

Grounding

Ensure your Fortinet product is connected and properly grounded to a lightning and surge protector. WAN or 
LAN connections that enter the premises from outside the building should be connected to an Ethernet CAT5 
(10/100 Mb/s) surge protector.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cables should be used whenever possible rather than Unshielded 
Twisted Pair (UTP). Do not connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity to avoid damage to 
your Fortinet product or personal injury. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage Fortinet equipment. 
Only perform the procedures described in this document from an ESD workstation. If no such station is 
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap and attaching it to an 
available ESD connector or other bare metal object.
