Please read and follow
these instructions
before operating a
BAL-8 Ground Isolation
Interface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your safety, it is important to read and follow these
instructions before operating a BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface.

(1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose a BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface to rain or moisture. Do not
operate a BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface near water, or place
objects containing liquid on it. Do not expose a BAL-8 Ground
Isolation Interface to splashing or dripping water.

(2) For proper ventilation, make sure ventilation openings are not
blocked. Install the BAL-8 according to the directions in the Inst allation
chapter of this manual.

(3) Do not install a BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface near a heat
source such as a radiator, heat register, stove, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produces heat. Do not place naked flame
sources such as candles on or near a panel.

(4) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades, with one blade wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an ele ctrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

(5) Protect the power plug from being walked on or pinched p articularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the panel chassis.

(6) Only use attachments/accessories specified by Clear-Com
Communication Systems.

(7) Unplug the BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time.

(8) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when:

• The BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface has been damaged in any
way, such as when a power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the BAL-8
Ground Isolation Interface chassis.

• The BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface has been exposed to rain
or moisture.

• The BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface does not operate normally.

• The BAL-8 Ground Isolation Interface has been dropped.
