Before installing the SLC ConnectReach system, read the following basic safety
precautions.
Read and understand all instructions.
3
Exercise caution when connecting the SLC ConnectReach system to
3
telephone wires. Hazardous voltage may be present.
Do not install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
3
Before installing or servicing the SLC ConnectReach system, disconnect
3
all power connections from wall outlets, and disconnect all telephone lines
at the network interface.
When installing or connecting electrical wiring that is external to the SLC
3
ConnectReach system, follow the provisions of the current edition of the
National Electrical Code or other wiring rules that may apply.
Do not install or use the SLC ConnectReach system near water.
3
The following precautions should be observed when handling SLC ConnectReach
system circuit cards:
Assume all card assemblies contain solid state electronic components that
3
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Observe warning labels on the bags and cartons. Whenever possible, do
3
not remove the card assembly from antistatic packaging until the SLC
ConnectReach system is ready for card installation.
Open all card assembly packages at a static-safe work position, using
3
properly grounded wrist straps and static-dissipating table mats. If a static-
dissipating table mat is used, be sure that it is clean to ensure a good
discharge path.
Always store and transport card assemblies in static-safe packaging.
