protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.

3. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where persons will walk on the power

cord.

4. Do not attempt to install or service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

5. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be required by the regulatory

inspection authority for the installation site, are the responsibility of the customer.

6. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety Standards and

regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory

agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.

7. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two or more buildings. If products

installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition.

Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary,

implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.

8. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the following precautions:

—Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
