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, how ever, 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 tow er at a sports facility, w ater
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 pow er.
ANY DAMAGE TO A TIELINE PRODUCT CAUSED BY LIGHTNING or an ELECTRICAL STORM WILL VOID THE
