Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.
Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la sécurité générale :
Laissez la zone du châssis propre et sans poussière pendant et après l’installation.
Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux qui pourraient être pris dans le châssis. Attachez votre
cravate ou écharpe et remontez vos manches.
Portez des lunettes de sécurité pour protéger vos yeux.
N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait créer un danger pour d’autres ou rendre l’équipement dangereux.
Coupez complètement l’alimentation en éteignant l’alimentation et en débranchant le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un châssis ou de travailler à proximité de sources
d’alimentation.
Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses sont présentes.
Ne considérez jamais que l’alimentation est coupée d’un circuit, vérifiez toujours le circuit. Cet appareil
génère, utilise et émet une énergie radiofréquence et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux
instructions des fournisseurs de composants sans fil, il risque de provoquer des interférences dans les
communications radio.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Installation should be conducted only by a trained electrician or only by an electrically trained person
who knows all installation procedures and device specifications which are to be applied.
Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to another place.
Please conform to your local laws and regulations regarding safe disposal of lithium battery.
Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in
an explosion.

7
Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature environment can result in an explosion or the leakage
of flammable liquid or gas.
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacée par une autre d’un mauvais type.
Jetez les piles usagées conformément aux instructions.
L’installation doit être effectuée par un électricien formé ou une personne formée à l’électricité
connaissant toutes les spécifications d’installation et d’appareil du produit.
Ne transportez pas l’unité en la tenant par le câble d’alimentation lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil.
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment
to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure that the room in which you
choose to operate your system has adequate air circulation.
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An
open chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal
components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs
when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid these
problems.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
L’équipement électrique génère de la chaleur. La température ambiante peut ne pas être adéquate pour
refroidir l’équipement à une température de fonctionnement acceptable sans circulation adaptée.
Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air adéquate.
Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien fixé. La conception du châssis permet à l’air de
refroidissement de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert laisse l’air s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre et
rediriger le flux d’air frais destiné aux composants internes.
Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits électriques.
Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque des composants électroniques sont mal manipulés et peuvent

8
causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes. Suivez les procédures de prévention d’ESD lors du retrait et
du remplacement de composants.
Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet n’est
disponible, reliez votre corps àla terre en touchant la partie métallique du châssis.
Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise entre 1 et
10 mégohms (Mohms).
Mounting Installation Precautions
The following should be put into consideration for rack-mount or similar mounting installations:
Do not install and/or operate this unit in any place that flammable objects are stored or used in.
The installation of this product must be performed by trained specialists; otherwise, a non-specialist
might create the risk of the system’s falling to the ground or other damages.
Lanner Electronics Inc. shall not be held liable for any losses resulting from insufficient strength for
supporting the system or use of inappropriate installation components.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.,
use of power strips).
