Safety
Battery — Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Dispose of used
batteries according to your local regulations.
IMPORTANT: Switzerland: Annex 4.10 of SR814.013 applies to batteries.
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed pluggable A via Class |
external power supply adapter by means of a power cord connected to a socket-
outlet with earthing connection.
Grounding — To prevent damage to your equipment, connections that enter from
outside the building should pass through a lightning / surge protector, and be
properly grounded. Use an electrostatic discharge workstation (ESD) and/or
wear an anti-static wrist strap while you work, In addition to the grounding
terminal of the plug, on the back panel, there is another, separate terminal
for earthing.
This product has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the back
of the product in addition to the grounding terminal of the attachment plug.
This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to
earth with a green with yellow stripe conductor minimum size # 22AWG and the
connection is to be installed by a qualified service personnel.
Regulatory Notices
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) – USA
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, and (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
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if it is not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, it 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 off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 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 radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment
