Safety Notices and Warnings

SAFETY NOTICES and WARNINGS

THUNDERSTORMS and LIGHTNING

DO NOT USE Tieline codecs during thunderstorms and lightning.

You may suffer an injury using a phone, Tieline codec, or any device connected to

a phone during a thunderstorm

This can lead to personal injury and in extreme cases may be fatal.

Protective devices can be fitted to the line, however, due to the extremely high
voltages and energy levels involved in lightning strikes, these devices may not offer

protection to the users, the Tieline codec and equipment connected to the codec.

Secondary strikes can occur. These secondary strikes are induced by lightning
strikes and also produce dangerously high currents and energy levels. You only
need to be near an object struck by lightning to lead to personal injury or damage
to equipment. e.g. if located near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features
and drains on golf courses you will be affected by these secondary strikes.

Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorms, even if

the codec is turned off but is connected to the phone system or the power.

ANY DAMAGE TO A TIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an
ELECTRICAL STORM WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

WARNING: DIGITAL PHONE SYSTEMS

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR Tieline CODEC TO A DIGITAL PHONE SYSTEM.

PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR!

If you are unfamiliar with any facility, check that the line you are using is NOT a

digital line. If the Tieline codec becomes faulty due to the use of a digital phone

system, the WARRANTY IS VOID.
