Safety precautions

 

In order to ensure the safety of the user and to avoid CPE malfunctions the device must be stored, 
installed and serviced in accordance with safety guidelines. This section outlines the basic safety 
recommendations for Icotera's optical CPEs. 

Always follow these general guidelines when using Icotera CPEs: 

 

Do not open or disassemble the CPE. 

 

Do not expose the product to liquid or moisture. 

 

Do not expose the product to lit candles, cigarettes, open flames etc. 

 

Do not drop, throw, or try to bend the product. 

 

Do not allow children to play with the product, as it contains small parts that could be detached 
and create a choking hazard. 

 

Use only original Icotera components and replacement parts. Failure to do so may result in 
performance loss, damage to the product, fire, electric shock, or injury. Any unauthorised 
modifications also invalidate the warranty. 

 

In order to minimize the risk of electric shock, avoid using the unit during storms and high 
lighting activity. 

 

Treat the product with care. Use only a soft, damp cloth to clean the CPE. 

Power supply 

Be sure to only use the original, certified power supply unit provided with the CPE. Using any 
other PSU may result in permanent damage to the equipment and may lead to fire or injury. If 
possible, use surge protector outlets to plug in the PSU. 

Storage and operation conditions 

When not installed, the CPE should be stored in dry environment and always in original packaging. The 
device should not be exposed to severe humidity, heat, or cold during storage and transport. When 
moving CPE from cold to warm environments, allow it to warm up before powering up, as to prevent 
condensation of moisture inside the device and possible damage to circuitry. Environmental conditions 
should not exceed the following specification: 

 

Operating temperature: 0 

– 45°C 

 

Storage temperature: - 20 

– 85°C 

 

Humidity for storage and operation: 5% 

– 95% (non-condensing) 

Installation and allowed connections 

Select a safe location for the CPE and make sure it is always freely accessible. Place the CPE on a firm, 
flat surface. Avoid bending or coiling the cables too tightly. Do not obstruct the airflow through and 
around the device with surrounding objects, as it is essential for proper ventilation and cooling; there 
should be an unobstructed space of minimum 15 centimetres around the CPE. 

Ensure that only approved telephone handsets are connected to the VoIP ports of the CPE. Only 
Ethernet network equipment may be connected to the LAN ports. Damage may occur if network 
equipment is plugged into the VoIP ports. This equipment must therefore only be professionally installed 
by suitably trained service personnel. 

This equipment allows connection only of suitably approved equipment to its ports, the safety status of 
which is defined below: 

 

SELV ports

: Power, LAN ports, USB ports, CATV port. These ports are classified as SELV 

(Safety Extra Low Voltage) in accordance with EN60950-1:2006, and must only be connected to 
equipment which similarly complies with the SELV safety classification. 
 

 

TNV2 ports

: Both VoIP ports. These ports, classified as TNV2 (Telecom Network Voltage Type 

2) in accordance with EN60950-1:2006, must only be connected to circuits complying with the 
requirements therein. Connect only telephone handset equipment which can withstand TNV2 
voltages.
