WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE ANY ELECTRICALEQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
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. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the oper-
ating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should
be followed.
5. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
6. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water –
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
7. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing seri­ous injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
7A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
8. Ventilation – Slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the man­ufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
9. Power Sources – This product 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 supply to your home, consult your appli­ance dealer or local power company.
10. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11. Power Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, pro­vides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and require­ments for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
13. Phone Line Use – Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
14. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a light-
ning 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 product from lightning and power line surges.
15. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or cir­cuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Refer to Satellite Dish Antenna Assembly & Alignment Guide.
16. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings 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 product.
18. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. b.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d.If the product does not operate normally when following the operat-
ing 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 product to its normal operation.
e.If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been dam-
aged in any way.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance –
this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
22. Carts and Stands – The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer.
23. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products that produce heat.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Part 68 and Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA)
This device complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. A label on the rear panel of this equipment contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point. For the DSX 5500 or DSX 5540, 01 means a REN of 0.1.
Note: RENs are associated with loop-start and ground-start ports. Do not use for E & M or digital ports.
This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ-11C.
No modular plug is provided with this equipment.
If the DSX 5500 or DSX 5540 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary interruption of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company.
