Fcc Part 15 - Arris Touchstone TG1652 User Manual

The shield of the coaxial cable must be connected to earth (grounded) at the entrance

to the building in accordance with applicable national electrical installation codes. In
the U.S., this is required by NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 820. In the
European Union and in certain other countries, CATV installation equipotential
bonding requirements are specified in IEC 60728-11, Cable networks for television
signals, sound signals and interactive services, Part 11: Safety. This equipment is
intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60728-11 for safe
operation.
If the equipment is to be installed in an area serviced by an IT power line network, as is

found in many areas of Norway, special attention should be given that the installation
is in accordance with IEC 60728-11, in particular Annex B and Figure B.4.
In areas of high surge events or poor grounding situations and areas prone to lightning

strikes, additional surge protection may be required (i.e. PF11VNT3 from American
Power Conversion) on the AC, RF, Ethernet and Phone lines.
When the Telephony Gateway is connected to a local computer through Ethernet

cables, the computer must be properly grounded to the building/residence AC ground
network. All plug-in cards within the computer must be properly installed and
grounded to the computer frame per the manufacturer's specifications.
Ensure proper ventilation. Position the Telephony Gateway so that air flows freely

around it and the ventilation holes on the unit are not blocked.
Do not mount the Telephony Gateway on surfaces that are sensitive to heat and/or

which may be damaged by the heat generated by the modem, its power supply, or other
accessories.
