IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, follow these basic safety
precautions when installing telephone equipment:
Read and understand all instructions.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or packed with the product.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed
for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone wiring has
been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Use only Lucent Technologies-manufactured MERLIN LEGEND Communications
System circuit modules, carrier assemblies, and power units in the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System control unit.
Use only Lucent Technologies-recommended/approved MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System accessories.
If equipment connected to the analog extension modules [008 (ATL), 408 (LS-ATL), and
408 GS/LS], the MLX telephone modules (008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX, 408 GS/LS-ID-
MLX, and 016 MLX), or the ETR telephone modules (412 LS-ID-ETR and 016 ETR) is
to be used for in-range out-of-building (IROB) applications, IROB protectors are
required.
Do not install this product near water—for example, in a wet basement location.
Do not overload wall outlets, as this can result in the risk of fire or electrical shock.
The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-
type plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System requires a supplementary ground.
Do not attach the power supply cord to building surfaces. Do not allow anything to rest
on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons
walking on it.
The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
