1.1 REGULATORY INFORMATION

EMC Directive:

• FCC Part 15, Class A

• EN55022, Class A

• EN55024

Low-Voltage Direcive (Safety):

• UL60950-1/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1

• IEC/EN60950-1 2nd Edition

• AS/NZS 60950-1

1.2 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE (FCC PART 15)

This device generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with the manufac­turer's instructions-may cause interference to radio and television recep­tion. The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B

4

of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable pro­tection from such interference in a commercial installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal­lation. If the device does cause interference to radio or television recep­tion, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow­ing measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver,
re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equip­ment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).

1.3 CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

This device conforms to the requirements of Council Directive
2004/108/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member states
relating to electromagnetic compatibility; and Council Directive
2006/95/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relat­ing to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits.

The safety advice in the documentation accompanying this device shall
be obeyed. The conformity to the above directive is indicated by CE mark
on the device.

1.6 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY

• This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified service person­nel.

• Do not open the device when the power cord is con­nected. For systems without a power switch and without
an external power adapter, line voltages are present
within the device when the power cord is connected.

• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in com­pliance with local regulatory requirements.

• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.

• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor
power plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral &

WARNING

Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket)
must have an earth ground.

• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnect­ing cables are rated for proper voltage, current, antici­pated temperature, flammability, and mechanical
serviceability.

• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have haz­ardous voltages present regardless of whether the
device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to inter­faces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL,
T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazard­ous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use
caution when working near these ports. When discon­necting cables for these ports, detach the far end con­nection first.

• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.
