Important Safeguards 

1.  Read Instructions 

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the 

appliance is operated. 

2.  Retain Instructions 

The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future 

reference. 

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.  Ventilation 

Place this equipment only in an upright position.  This equipment has an 

open-frame Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which can cause a 

fire or electric shock if anything is inserted through the ventilation holes 

on the side of the equipment. 

7.  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. 

This equipment and cart combination should be moved with care.  Quick 

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment 

and cart combination to overturn. 

8.  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. 

9.  Power Cords 

Operator or installer must remove power and TNT connections before 

handling the equipment. 

10.  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 antenna or cable system.  This will prevent 

damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges. 

11.  Overloading 

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the 

risk of fire or electric shock. 

12.  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.

13.  Servicing 

Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself.  Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel. 

14.  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. 

15.  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. 

16.  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. 

17.  Field Installation 

This installation should be made by a qualified service person and 

should conform to all local codes. 

18.  Correct Batteries  

Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.  

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. 

19.  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. 

20.  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). 

21.  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. 

22.  Mechanical Loading 

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous 

condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading. 

23.  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. 

24.  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).
