1 Warnings & Safety Information
1. The power cable and battery must be removed from the device for Power Disconnection.
2. Remove phone or ISDN cables from the codec before removing a module or servicing.
THUNDERSTORM AND LIGHTNING WARNING:
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, or 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 you are located
near a lighting tower at a sports facility, water features and drains on golf courses, you may
be affected by these secondary strikes.
Damage to personnel and Tieline codecs may occur during thunderstorm, even if the codec is
turned off but remains connected to the phone or ISDN system, LAN or the power.
ANY DAMAGE TO A TIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an ELECTRICAL
STORM WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
DIGITAL PHONE SYSTEM WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE ANALOG POTS MODULE 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 WILL BE VOID.
