DANGER! — FUSING:
The equipment has Double Pole/Neutral Line Fusing on AC power.
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses only with same type and rating of fuse.
DANGER! — GROUNDING: This equipment must be EARTH GROUNDED. Never defeat the ground connector or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed earth ground connection. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
The AC and DC power connectors of this equipment have a connection to the earthed conductor of the AC and DC supply earthing conductor through the AC and DC power cords. The AC source outlet must contain a protective earthing connection. This equipment shall be connected directly to the AC power outlet earthing pin or DC supply system earthing electrode conductor.
The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as this equipment: The equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection to the earthing conductor of the same AC or DC supply circuit earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the AC or DC system. The AC or DC system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
Switches or other disconnection devices shall not be in the earthed circuit conductor between the AC and DC source and the point of the connection of the earthing electrode conductor to SecureSync’s AC and DC input power connectors earthing pin.
DANGER! — BATTERY: Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Follow Orolia Instructions — there is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Caution: Electronic equipment is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Observe all ESD precautions and safeguards when handling Orolia equipment.
