Physical and Environmental Considerations

2.3 Physical and Environmental Considerations
To protect the equipment and to avoid personal injury, observe the following physical and
environmental considerations when installing a Evolution X5 Satellite Router:
• Ventilation
Slots and openings on the chassis provide ventilation and ensure reliable operation of the
product. To protect the chassis from overheating, these openings must NOT be blocked or
covered at any time. Do not place this product in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or enclosed rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer
instructions have been followed. If there is any dust build up on the vent openings of the
Evolution X5 Satellite Router chassis, vacuuming is recommended to remove these
particulate to ensure proper airflow.
• AC Polarization
This product is equipped with a cord plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way.
Do not modify the plug by defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your
electrician to replace your outlet or get the proper power cord. To prevent electric shock
or impair performance, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you
can fully insert the blades without blade exposure.
• Power Sources
Operate this product only from the type of power source indicated on the bottom of
approved power supplies (100 VAC - 240VAC, 50/60Hz). If you are not sure of the type of
power supply at your site, consult your teleport operator or local power company.
• Power Cord Protection
Route power supply cords so 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 at the point where they exit the product.
• Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Electrical Safety
For electrical safety, power line operated equipment accessories connected to this unit
should bear the UL, NRTL, CE listing mark and should not be modified so as to defeat the
safety features. This helps to avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in
doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
• Water and Moisture
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
• Lightning
For added protection, unplug this product from the wall outlet (and disconnect the
antenna and cable system) during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods. Doing so prevents damage to the product from lightning and
power-line surges.
