This installation should be made by a qualiﬁed service person and

should conform to all local codes.

The lightning ﬂash with an arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the

product’s enclosure that may be of sucient magnitude to

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

INFORMATION - This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment

is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This

will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line

surges.

10. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in

the risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

11. Objects and Liquids

Never push objects of any kind through openings of this equipment as

they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could

result in a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the

equipment.

12. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. Refer all servicing

to qualiﬁed service personnel.

13. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

B. If liquid is spilled, or objects have fallen into the equipment.

C. If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the equipment does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by

the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualiﬁed technician to restore the equipment to its normal operation.

E. If the equipment has been dropped, or the cabinet damaged.

F. When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance —

this indicates a need for service.

14. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician

has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer or that

have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock or other hazards.

18. Tmra

A manufacturer’s maximum recommended ambient temperature

(Tmra) for the equipment must be speciﬁed so that the customer and

installer may determine a suitable maximum operating environment

for the equipment.

19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating

ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than

room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing

the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s

maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

20. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the

amount of airﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised.

21. Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous

condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.

22. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to

supply circuit and the eect that overloading of circuits might have on

over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration

of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this

concern.

23. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than

direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
