Safety Guidelines
Mantaray Administrator’s Guide, v1.0.3, Issue 01 3
Safety Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous
voltages are present:
●Always use caution and common sense.
●To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover
removed.
●Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause
computer components to fail. Electrostatic discharge occurs when a person whose body
contains a static buildup touches a computer component.
The equipment contains static-sensitive devices that may be easily damaged, and proper
handling and grounding is essential. Use ESD precautionary measures when installing
systems or cards, and keep the parts and cards in antistatic packaging when not in use. If
possible, use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads.
Improper handling and/or installation practices may VOID the warranty.
CAUTION When handling components, or when setting switch options, always use 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, such as a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Disposal
This symbol on Haivision products or packaging means that the product
should not be disposed of with general waste. It is your responsibility to
dispose of your waste equipment by handing it over to a designated
recycling collection point. The correct disposal of your end-of-life
equipment will help prevent potential negative consequences to the environ-
ment and human health.
In accordance with the European Union (EU) WEEE Directive, Haivision products that fall
within the scope of the WEEE, are labeled with the above symbol, and customers are
encouraged to responsibly recycle their equipment at the time of disposal. Haivision also
offers its customers the option of returning Haivision equipment to facilitate its environ-
mentally sound disposal.
