Safety Requirements

The ARRIS Telephony Gateway complies with the applicable requirements for

performance, construction, labeling, and information when used as outlined below:

CAUTION

Potential equipment damage

Potential loss of service

Connecting the Telephony Gateway to existing telephone wiring should only be performed by a

professional installer. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider must be removed

and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltages. Cancelation of telephone service is

not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or permanent damage to the

Telephony Gateway.

CAUTION

Risk of shock

Mains voltages inside this unit. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified personnel

only!

CAUTION

Risk of explosion

Replacing the battery with an incorrect type, heating a battery above 75°C, or incinerating a battery,

can cause product failure and a risk of fire or battery explosion. Do not dispose of in fire. Recycle or

dispose of used batteries responsibly and in accordance with local ordinances.



The Telephony Gateway is designed to be connected directly to a telephone.



Connecting the Telephony Gateway to the home’s existing telephone wiring should only

be performed by a professional installer.



Do not use product near water (i.e. wet basement, bathtub, sink or near a swimming

pool, etc.), to avoid risk of electrocution.



Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.



The product shall be cleaned using only a damp, lint-free, cloth. No solvents or

cleaning agents shall be used.



Do not use spray cleaners or aerosols on the gateway.



Avoid using and/or connecting the equipment during an electrical storm, to avoid risk

of electrocution.



Do not locate the equipment within 6 feet (1.9 m) of a flame or ignition source (i.e. heat

registers, space heaters, fireplaces, etc.).



Use only power supply and power cord included with the equipment.



Equipment should be installed near the power outlet and should be easily -accessible.

Safety Requirements



The shield of the coaxial cable must be connected to earth (grounded) at the entrance

to the building in accordance with applicable national electrical installation codes. In

the U.S., this is required by NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 820. In the

European Union and in certain other countries, CATV installation equipotential

bonding requirements are specified in IEC 60728-11,

Cable networks for television

signals, sound signals and interactive services

, Part 11: Safety. This equipment is

intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60728-11 for safe

operation.



If the equipment is to be installed in an area serviced by an IT power line network, as is

found in many areas of Norway, special attention should be given that the installation

is in accordance with IEC 60728-11, in particular Annex B and Figure B.4.



In areas of high surge events or poor grounding situations and areas prone to lightning

strikes, additional surge protection may be required (i.e. PF11VNT3 from American

Power Conversion) on the AC, RF, Ethernet and Phone lines.



When the Telephony Gateway is connected to a local computer through Ethernet

cables, the computer must be properly grounded to the building/residence AC ground

network. All plug-in cards within the computer must be properly installed and

grounded to the computer frame per the manufacturer’s specifications.



Ensure proper ventilation. Position the Telephony Gateway so that air flows freely

around it and the ventilation holes on the unit are not blocked.



Do not mount the Telephony Gateway on surfaces that are sensitive to heat and/or

which may be damaged by the heat generated by the modem, its power supply, or other

accessories.

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B

digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.

These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one

or more of the following measures:



Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.



Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.



Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.



Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Requirements

RF Exposure

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of

7.9 inches (20cm) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-

located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Industry Canada Compliance

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an

antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry

Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain

should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more

than that necessary for successful communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)

this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

For Mexico

The operation of this equipment is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

equipment or device cannot cause harmful interference and (2) this equipment or device

must accept any interference, including interference that may cause some unwanted

operation of the equipment.

European Compliance

This product complies with the provisions of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Directive (89/336/EEC), the Amending Directive (92/31/EEC), the Low Voltage Directive

(73/23/EEC), and the CE Marking Directive (93/68/EEC). As such, this product bears the

CE marking in accordance with the above applicable Directive(s).

A copy of the Declaration of Conformity may be obtained from: ARRIS International, Inc.,
