Information

For customers in the USA

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom surface of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the 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. For products approved after July 23, 2001, 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 (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

A jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.

This product uses the “RJ-11C” telephone jack.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will, when practical, notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is warranted.

The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice so you can make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If you have questions about this product, call our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669, or write to:

Important safeguards

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or those described in the instruction manual and adhere to them.

USE

Power sources

This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those units designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or polarization

The unit is equipped with a polarized AC power cord 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 have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Liquid and foreign objects

Never push objects of any kind into the unit 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 unit.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the phone cord from the telephone wall jack and/or network cable from the network device before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the unit. For detailed instructions on cleaning the network adaptor, see “Cleaning the network adaptor” (page 20).

Important safeguards (continued)

INSTALLATION

Water and moisture

Do not use the powerline operated unit near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

Power cord protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the unit.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

– Never block the slots and openings by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Accessories

Do not place the unit on an unstable

cart, stand, bracket or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage

to the unit.

Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

– Never place the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

– Do not place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Important safeguards (continued)

ANTENNAS

Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits. WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect 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 antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning

For added protection for this unit 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 phone cord and the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.

Do not touch the network adaptor during a lightning storm as this may expose you to the risk of electrical shock.

SERVICE

Damage requiring service

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

–When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

–If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the unit.

FRAYED OR TAUT CORD

CRACKED PLUG

–If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

Important safeguards (continued)

–If the unit has been subject to strong physical shock by being

dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

– If the unit does not operate normally when following the instruction manual. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the instruction manual. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

–When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as opening or removing the

covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the unit is in safe operating condition.
