Electrical Safety

Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting
devices attached to the workstation.

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.
