Important notice
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which cannot guarantee the transmission and
reception of data in all conditions. While the delay or loss of signal is rare, you should not rely solely on any
wireless device for emergency communications or otherwise use the device in situations where the interruption
of data connectivity could lead to death, personal injury, property damage, data loss, or other loss. Casa Systems
accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from errors or delays in transmission or reception, or
the failure of the Casa Systems CTL-2000 Smart Installation tool to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
Warning –
Do not connect or disconnect cables or devices to or from the Ethernet cable port or the terminals of the battery in
hazardous locations such as those in which flammable gases or vapours may be present, but normally are confined within
closed systems; are prevented from accumulating by adequate ventilation; or the location is adjacent to a location from which
ignitable concentrations might occasionally be communicated.
