72 Chapter 12 Reference and Certifications
• Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire,
conduit, terminals and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution
must be used to avoid electrical shock from such facilities. You must
avoid contact with all such facilities.
• Telephone wiring must be at least 6 feet from bare power wiring or
lightning rods and associated wires, and at least 6 inches from other
wire (antenna wires, doorbell wires, wires from transformers to neon
signs), steam or hot water pipes, and heating ducts.
• Before working with existing inside wiring, check all electrical outlets
for a square telephone dial light transformer and unplug it from the
electrical outlet. Failure to unplug all telephone transformers can
cause electrical shock.
• Do not place a jack where it would allow a person to use the
telephone while in a bathtub, shower, swimming pool, or similar
hazardous location.
• Protectors and grounding wire placed by the service provider must
not be connected to, removed, or modified by the customer.
