Precautions
The CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements that appear throughout this manual are
intended to provide critical information for the safety of both the service engineer and operator, and
enhance equipment reliability. The definitions and symbols for such statements comply with ANSI
Z535.2, American National Standard for Environmental and Facility Safety Signs, and ANSI
Z535.4, Product Safety Signs and Labels, issued by the American National Standards Institute.
Safety Guidelines
Under proper conditions, this unit will operate reliably and safely in your network. If any
component is improperly handled or installed, equipment failure or personnel hazard may occur.
Use caution and common sense when installing network wires. Use the following guidelines,
especially when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous voltages are present:
• Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover removed.
• Never install network jacks in a wet location unless the jack is designed for that location.
• Never touch uninsulated network wires or terminals unless the network line is disconnected
at the network interface.
• Never install network wiring during an electrical storm.
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause computer
components to fail. ESD occurs when a person whose body contains a static buildup touches a
computer component. The SC-IP card may contain static-sensitive devices that are easily damaged.
Proper handling, grounding and precautionary ESD measures are essential. Keep parts and cardsin
antistatic packaging during transport or when not in use. When handling always use antistatic
floorpads, workbench pads and an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame
or chassis. If a wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the
equipment. Never use a conductive tool, like a screw driver or paper clip to set switches.
CAUTION Indicates conditions or practices that can cause damage to equipment or loss of
data.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor to moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.

Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
Avis D’industrie Canada
L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le
matériel est conforme aux normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques
relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la
satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux
installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en
suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que
la comformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désignépar le
fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un
appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de
mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source
d’énergie électrique,deslignestéléphoniques et des canalisationsd’eaumétalliques,s’ilyen a, sont
raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir
recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Avis: L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le
