Preface
Your TransPort
®
U1100 contains electrical filters, fuses, protections, and
a built-in surge protector. However, we strongly recommend using a high-
quality, external surge protector. An external surge protector looks like an
extension cord with several grounded outlets. It will help shield your
TransPort
®
U1100 from lightning strikes, surges, shorts, and other
electrical hazards. We also recommend plugging your phone line into a
surge protector.
Caution on Using Modem
 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
 Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
 Never touch uninsinuated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
 Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
 Avoid using the telephone function (other than a cordless type)
during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
 Do not use the telephone function to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
