Before you Begin

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, 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.
  • To avoid electric shock caused by over-voltage from the PSTN, DO NOT connect the POTS port on this unit directly to any external PSTN line.
  • Children: Do not allow children to play with the Giga Spire. It contains small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
  • 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-approved accessories may result in loss of performance, damage to the product, fi re, 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
  • Maximum environmental values during use:
  • Temperature: 0° C to +40° C (32° to 104° F), Humidity: 10% to 90% RH, non-condensing, -200 to 10,000 feet altitude
REQUIRED SAFETY STATEMENTS
  • Potentially Explosive Atmosphere: Do not use the Giga Spire in an area where a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
  • Intended Use: This product is classified as telecommunication equipment not intended for direct purchase by the public.
  • This product is designed and approved for use in an indoor location only.

CAUTION! Use of any controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

  • Connect the power supply cord only to an AC power outlet that meets Giga Spire specifications.
  • Never alter the AC power cord. If necessary, have the correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician or call your service provider for assistance.
  • To reduce the risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by holding onto the AC power adapter rather than the cord.
  • Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

WARNING! Do not use any other power adapter except the one that accompanies this unit or a power supply identified in the list below. Use of another adapter could result in damage to the unit. To prevent electrical shock, please do not open the cover. The following power adapter is qualified for use with this Giga Spire.
