Warning

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Only perform the services explicitly described in the install and or user
manual. For services or procedures not outlined in the install or user manual,
speak with authorized service personnel.
6) Do not use this equipment near water.
7) Clean only with dry cloth.
8) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
9) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
11) Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the equipment.
12) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
13) For products that are not rack-mountable: Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the equipment.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/equipment combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
14) Unplug this equipment during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
15) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the equipment has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
equipment, the equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
16) For products that are a Mains powered device:
The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects
filled with liquids (such as vases) shall be placed on the equipment.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
17) For products containing a lithium battery:
CAUTION! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
18) The power inlet is the main disconnect device and should remain
accessible. Disconnect the power cord before servicing the unit.
19) The equipment shall be used at a maximum ambient temperature of 40° C.
Rack-Mount Safety Instructions
1) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
2) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised. Stage 48 airflow is from the front of the chassis enclosure to the
rear. Make allowances for cooling air to be available to the front panel surface
and no restrictions at the rear.
3) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that ahazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
5) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
