SAFETY WARNING
Potentially hazardous voltages exist on TELCO lines and associated equipment. Always observe
standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and maintenance of these products. To avoid
the possibility of electric shock, be sure to disconnect the power from the remote power source before
you perform any line connections or repairs. Always disconnect all the cables connected to the system
before disconnecting the grounding connection. After disconnecting the power allow a few seconds for
the internal capacitances to discharge before accessing the boards.
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WARNING
The installation procedures described in this manual must be performed by qualified personnel aware of
the hazards involved. The personnel involved in equipment installation must be trained in the installation
of telephone equipment and associated power systems; these personnel must strictly observe all the
safety precautions related to the installation of communication equipment.
Never install, remove, or adjust equipment and associated cables. Do not work on roofs, masts, or
towers during a lightning storm.
ATTENTION! STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
PROPER HANDLING AND GROUNDING WARNING
Components within the Trailblazer system are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To avoid and
prevent ESD damage and device failure maintain proper grounding during configuration, repair or
maintenance. This is achieved through the use of an antistatic wrist strap securely connected to chassis
ground. Do not use conductive tools for adjusting channel select switch.
UL INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
Never touch telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Connection to the Telephone Network
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. You will find the label located on the device. This
label contains the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is
used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line and still have all of
those devices ring with an incoming call signal. In most areas the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). Confirm the number of devices possible on the
telephone line (in REN) by contacting the local telephone company who provides the service.
