WARNING
equipment shall be returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified service personnel.
• For DC powered units, an approved external power source that incor­porates a disconnect device shall be used and positioned within easy reach of the operator.
• For AC powered units, the power cable used to connect the power supply shall meet all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and be connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.
• Line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cords are connected. The mains outlet that is utilized to power the devise shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
• Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use caution when near WAN ports. When detaching the cables, detach the end away from the ForeFront chassis first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

B.0 Compliance Information
B.1 Radio and TV Interference (FCC Part 15)
This equipment 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. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accor­dance with the specifications in Subpart B 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 equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, 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).
In order to comply with UL60950 leakage current requirements, it is recommended that the AC inputs be supplied from separate and isolated sources.

B.4 Industry Canada Notice
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is con­firmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registra­tion was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
This Declaration of Conformity means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, are connected together. This protection may be particularly important in rural areas.
