Important safety instructions The power source has to be adequately rated to assure safe operation of the equipment. The building installation and/or power source must provide overload protection. Protective earth (PE) connection is essential to ensure safe operation before connecting to the power supply and telecommunication network. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
Page 7
Important safety instructions 16 When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable safety standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance. 17 A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more buildings.
