Before you Begin

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-approved 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 the 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.

INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment or and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

CAUTION

  • Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
  • This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
