2.1 Packaging
In the interest of preserving the environment, Eaton
aims to use recycled packaging wherever practical.
Due to the physical nature of our products, we provide
adequate packaging to protect the goods during transit.
Please ensure that once unpacked, checked and
installed that all packaging is disposed of or recycled in a
responsible manner.
2.2 Electrostatic discharge
The Sonix PA/GA system is largely constructed from
electronic printed circuit boards. These printed circuit
boards are sensitive to static electricity; ESD discharge
on to any of the Eaton products could cause permanent
and irreparable damage to the equipment. All such
PCB's are shipped to you in ESD protective bags for
transit. Prior to opening the transit bags please ensure
that you are wearing either an ESD, earthed wrist strap
or other suitable means of protection.
2.3 Safe working practice
Whilst working on or within the Sonix PA/GA system it
is our prime interest that you remain safe throughout.
During this work you may be exposed to potentially
hazardous voltages, currents, confined spaces and
potentially hazardous industrial environments. Prior to
undertaking any work please ensure relevant permits
and regulations are adhered to.
