z The product can be operated at an ambient temperature of 40oC. z For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment

and shall be easily accessible.

z Only a qualified technician should service this product. Opening or removing

covers may result in exposure to dangerous voltage points or other risks.

z Unplug the powerline adapter from the power outlet and refer the product to

qualified service personnel for the following conditions:

¾ When the interconnect cords are damaged or frayed. ¾ If liquid has been spilled into the product. ¾ If the product has been exposed to rain or water. ¾ If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are

followed.
