Do not use the te ephone to report a gas eak in the vicinity of the eak.
WARNING: It is recommended that an ICASA approved ightning protection device
be used on the Power as we as the PSTN ines. If ightning protection is not used
it wi inva idate the warranty.
3.2 Pre-Installation Guidelines
On y trained service technicians shou d remove the unit cover. Inside parts have
hazardous vo tages.
Do not connect equipment in wet conditions or during a ightning storm.
3.3 Installation Options
3.3.1 Desk mount
The Wanderbox can be ocated on any sturdy, f at surface. Before ocating the unit on a
tab etop, read the ocation guide ines be ow:
WARNING: If insta ing on a tab etop or any other f at surface, we recommend that you
stack no more than four units together.
Pre-insta ation Guide ines
The surface must be sturdy.
Avoid exposing the unit to excessive vibrations.
Keep the unit away from wet or dusty areas.
