Chapter 1. Safety Precautions
1.1. English -- Safety Precautions
Be sure to take the following safety precautions during installation and maintenance of the Freeway communications
server:
•Observe the warnings and directions printed on the Freeway server and its associated equipment.
•Check the electrical rating label on the Freeway chassis. Be sure that the voltage and frequency of your power
source match this rating.
•The Freeway server must be plugged into a grounded, three-wire power outlet. Do not use an adapter that permits
a three-wire electrical cord to be plugged into a two-wire power outlet.
•Use appropriately rated extension cords or power strips only.
•To ensure proper cooling, always operate the Freeway server with its covers in place. Do not cover or block any of
the openings on the Freeway chassis. Do not place the unit near a heater.
•Do not insert objects through openings in the Freeway chassis. Doing so could result in a short circuit that might
cause a fire or an electric shock.
•Do not modify the Freeway equipment in any way. Protogate, Inc. is not responsible for regulatory compliance of
any Freeway communications server that has been modified. Altering the Freeway enclosure in any way other than
the installation of Protogate-provided options may invalidate Freeway’s safety certifications.
•Always unplug the Freeway AC power cord before removing the top cover for servicing.
1.2. Français -- Précautions d’emploi
Nous vous prions de suivre les précautions d’emploi suivantes au cours de l’installation ou au cours de tout entretien
de votre serveur de communication Freeway:
•Respecter les avertissements et les instructions imprimées sur le serveur Freeway et les appareils qui y sont
associés.
•Vérifier les normes électriques indiquées sur une étiquette se trouvant sur le châssis Freeway. Prière de s’assurer
que le voltage et la fréquence de la source d’alimentation sont compatibles avec ces normes.
•Le serveur Freeway doit être branché dans une prise de terre à trois broches. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateur
permettant de brancher une prise mâle à trois broches dans une prise de courant à deux broches.
