Check the power at the subscriber site before and after installation to ensure that you are receiving
clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
If plugging the cable voice adapter into any Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) other than the
CVA120 Series UPS, verify that the total power and current requirements used by all devices
plugged into the UPS are within the maximum limits of the UPS.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect any cables (Ethernet, USB, cable, or power)
during periods of lightning activity—the possibility of serious physical injury exists if lightning
should strike and travel through those cables. In addition, the equipment could be damaged by the
higher levels of static electricity present in the atmosphere.
