1. Read all instructions, heed all warnings herein and install according to all
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Do not use this product near water.
3. Allow for adequate ventilation to maintain normal operating temperature. Do not block
ventilation openings, position the product in an enclosed space that would restrict airflow
around the unit, place anything on top of the product or place the product on top of another
heat-producing device.

(including amplifiers) that produces heat. If the device has been in a cold environment, allow it
to warm to room temperature for at least two hours before connecting it to a power source.
5. Install the product securely to prevent damage.
6. Use only the power supply provided with the product. The use of any other power supply
may cause damage and void the warranty. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug provided with the product. A polarized plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide-blade and the third prong is provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the product.
8. Read and follow all safety instructions in this user manual related to the included remote
control, including but not limited to the use of batteries within the remote control.
9. Disconnect this product from the power supply before cleaning, clean with a dry cloth only and
do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
10. Only use the attachments and accessories specified by the manufacturer.
11. Unplug this product during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
12. The endpoint must be placed at a distance of at least 10 cm from other equipment that may
cause electromagnetic interference, such as TV sets or video recorders.
13. The endpoint can be operated at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C and at a relative
humidity of 10% to 70% (non-condensing).
14. The SAFARI Montage endpoint must be installed in accordance with SAFARI Montage’s
warranty terms with properly conditioned power and surge protection.
15. All servicing of the endpoint must be referred to SAFARI Montage in accordance with any
applicable warranty.

The following safety guidelines apply to your use of the included SAFARI Montage
Endpoint Remote Control:
1. Use only two (2) AAA 1.5 volt batteries for the remote control.
2. Follow the polarity diagram (+ /-) in the battery compartment to avoid the risk of explosion.
3. Do not store or use the remote control near heat sources, at high temperatures or in
direct sunlight.
4. Do not use the remote control in a moist, wet or corrosive environment.
5. Remove batteries before storing the remote control for extended periods.
6. Do not mix old and new or different battery types.
7. Dispose of used batteries responsibly and according to applicable regulations.
8. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat, as batteries exposed to heat may
explode or leak.
9. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
10. Keep the remote control and batteries out of the reach of children.
11. Ensure that the endpoint is oriented to allow reception of remote control signals and avoid
orienting the product such that the IR receiver is directly aligned with fluorescent lighting,
