Installation Safety warning
This equipment meets all applicable requirements of CSA and 
UL safety standards for North America and relevant EN60950 
specifications for European and other markets.
 Only qualified persons should service this 
system.
The installation and service of this hardware is to 
be performed only by service personnel having 
appropriate training and experience necessary to 
be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in 
performing a task and of measures to minimize the 
danger to themselves or other persons. 
Electrical shock hazards from the 
telecommunication network and AC mains are 
possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to 
service personnel and users, the system must be 
connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. 
Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of 
high leakage currents becoming available on metal 
system surfaces during power line fault events 
near network lines. These leakage currents 
normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground via 
the power cord. 
Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an 
earthed outlet is performed first and removed last 
when cabling the unit. Specifically, operations 
requiring the unit to be powered down must have 
the network connections (central office lines) 
removed first.
