Radio-frequency Interference
Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system.
The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel
having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which they
are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or
other persons.
Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible
with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the system must be
connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground. Service personnel must be alert to the
possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during
power line fault events near network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to
Protective Earth ground via the power cord. Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to
an earthed outlet is performed first and removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically,
operations requiring the unit to be powered down must have the network connections
(central office lines) removed first.
Caution: Warning
Local, state and federal requirements for Emergency 911 services support by Customer
Premises Equipment vary. Consult your telecommunication service provider regarding
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Note: For information about 911 configuration, refer to the Enhanced 911 (E911)
Configuration section in the Business Communications Manager Programming
