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.

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 . Tm ra

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.

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.

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 eect 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).
