8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between
the earth grounds of two or more buildings. If products
installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the
voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition. Consult
a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not
this phenomenon exists and, if necessary, implement
corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications
circuits, take the following precautions:
– Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
– Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the
jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
– Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
– Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
– Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type)
during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
– Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
