General Precautions
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consid-
eration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when ad-
dressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(e.g. use of power strips).
Slots and openings on the WorldCast Equinox are provided for ventilation that is needed to ensure
reliable operation. To avoid overheating and ensure that the ventilation slots are not blocked, place
the WorldCast Equinox on a smooth, hard surface that has at least five cm (two inches) of clearance
around the unit and adequate air circulation. If the equipment is placed in a closed area, such as a
rack or a case, ensure that proper ventilation is provided and that the internal rack operating temper-
ature does not exceed the maximum rated temperature at the location of the WorldCast Equinox.
F) Radio Interference – Class A ITE Warning - This is a class A product. In a domestic environment
this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
