Grounding

The power cable of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway unit should only be connected
to a power outlet that has a protective earth contact. Do not use an extension cord that does not have a
protective conductor (ground). The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway unit can become
dangerous if you interrupt any of the protective conductors (grounding) or disconnect any of the
protective earth terminals.
For North American installations, select a 3-conductor (18 AWG) power supply cord that is UL listed

and CSA certified. The cord must be terminated in a molded-on plug cap rated 125V/5A, with a
minimum length of 1.5m (6 feet) and no longer than 4.5m (approximately 14 feet).
Caution This is a class I unit. In Denmark, use this unit with an AC cord suited to Danish specifications. The cord
should include an earthing conductor. Plug the unit into a wall socket outlet which is connected to the
protective earth contact. Do not use socket outlets which are not connected to a protective earth contact!
