IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
Read all the instructions listed here and/or in the user manual before you operate this device. Give attention to all safety precautions.
Retain the instructions for future reference.
Always use caution when handling live electrical connections.
Do not install electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions.
Ensure that the power source for the system is adequately rated to assure safe operation and provides current overload protection.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable, and do not place this product where people will stand or walk on the power cable.
This unit must only be used with the certified power adapter model inside the package, which complies with the requirement of a limited
power source.
Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform to local regulations and electrical codes.
Do not use any accessories other than those approved by the manufacturer or your service provider. Use of non-original or non-ap-
proved accessories may result in loss of performance, damage to the product, fire, electric shock or injury, and may violate regulations.
The warranty does not cover product failures that have been caused by use of non-original or non-approved accessories.
It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid
damaging the device by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
The minimum distance between the user and/or any bystander and the radiating structure of the transmitter varies based on the country
where it is deployed. For US deployments, 27 cm is the minimum distance while Canada requires a minimum of 33 cm.
The pluggable external power supply provided with the unit should be mounted indoors. If other power supplies are employed, they
should be LISTED ITE with a Limited Power Source (LPS) output or LISTED with a National Electric Code (NEC) Class 2 output.
All installation methods shall be in accordance with national and local regulations and practices. The wiring method should include the
use of Listed wire/cable acceptable for the application per the National Code, and should be one that an Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ) can approve per the Code.
For US products, no wiring to the product should be exposed in lengths beyond 140 feet, as the circuits should avoid exposure to
accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in accordance with NEC Article 725-57 (NEC 2005). The installer should also
consider Articles 210, 240, 250, 770, and 810 of the NEC.
