Safety Guide
This document provides safety-related notices for use of the GR4000 Gigabit Router and
the GS4000 Gigabit Switch, hereafter called the “device.”
Read the following material completely and carefully before using the device.
Keep this document at hand after you read it, so that you can always refer it later.
For any operation involving the device, follow the directions and procedures given by
this document.
Observe the cautions labeled on the device or those presented by this document. If
you fail to do so, you will cause damage to yourself or the device.
Before Using the GR4000/GS4000 Series
We have standard symbols displayed on the GR4000 or GS4000 and in the manuals to
guide you in using the GR4000 or GS4000 correctly and safely without injuring yourself
and others, or damaging equipment assets. Below are the symbols and their meanings.
*
Note: A note is informational in nature. Unlike cautions and danger notices, notes are not
related to the physical injury or a damage to the device.
!
Caution: If you ignore a caution and mistreat the GR4000 or GS4000, you could cause
physical damage to the router or surroundings, or interrupt service to your
networks users.
WARNING: IF YOU IGNORE INSTRUCTIONS PRECEDED BY A WARNING SYMBOL,
YOU COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF AND
OTHERS.
Do not attempt to perform any operations not specifically described in the
documentation. In the event of a problem, turn off the power, unplug the power
cable, and contact a qualified service technician.
The instructions displayed on the GR4000 or GS4000 or in this documentation are
the results of our thorough consideration. Still, there is the possibility of a problem
occurring unexpectedly, so be alert and use common sense.

Warnings
Do not use the device if there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from it. If either
occurs, immediately turn power off and unplug the power cable from the outlet.
If AC power supplies are installed, pull out the power cables from the device.
If DC power units are installed, switch off the circuit breaker (DC power cables are
connected to screw terminals).
If liquid is spilled on the device, immediately turn power off and disconnect power
cables as appropriate. Discontinue use to avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
If a foreign object falls into the device when the cover is off, turn power off and
unplug the power cable from the outlet. Using the device with power on could cause
a fire or electric shock. Do not attempt to remove the object while the power is on.
Do not put the device on an unstable or uneven place. Instead, put the device on a
stable and flat surface to prevent it from falling and causing damage.
When installing the GR4000 or GS4000 on a desk, lay it down horizontally in it’s
normal orientation. If you stand it vertically or lean it against a wall, it could fall and
be damaged and potentially cause injury.
Do not remove the cover when it is operating, since this can cause you to receive a
shock.
Make sure that the device is in a stable, secure position when mounting it into a
rack. If you try to install it without anchoring it to the rack, it could fall out.
In the event that the device or any of it’s components is damaged, immediately turn
off power and remove the power cable from the source. Contact a qualified service
technician. Using the device in a damaged condition could cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not put a metal object, such as a pin or paperclip, or a vase or flower pot on the
GR4000 or GS4000. Water or objects falling into the chassis could cause a severe
electrical shock to anyone touching the device.
To avoid injury, the GR4000-80E1, GR4000-80E2, GS4000-80E1 or GS4000-80E2
should be carried by no less than three people. The table below shows the weight of
each device:
Model Weight Number of People Required Move the Device
GR4000-80E1
GS4000-80E1
Approx. 45 kg
GR4000-80E2
