36 Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual
Protecting the System and Yourself
The System is an electronic device. When you handle any electrical or electronic equipment, you are in a situation
that could cause you bodily harm, besides damage to the product. When handling any electronic equipment, you
must be aware of the safety hazards involved in electrical circuitry and the standard practices for accident
prevention.
When using any telephone equipment, take every safety precaution to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to persons. Read and understand the precautions, dos and don'ts of handling this product listed below.
These instructions are by no means exhaustive. So, take all the necessary precautions for handling electronic and
electrical appliances. Your safety and that of the others lies in your hands.
Location
• Do not place this product in any of the following locations:
• Near a water source like a wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, near a swimming pool, or in a wet
basement.
• In places where dust, oil, corrosive fumes may come in contact with the system.
• Any area where it is exposed to direct sunlight, heat, excessive cold or humidity.
• On movable or unstable surfaces, which may cause the product to fall and get damaged.
• Any area where shocks or vibration are frequent or strong.
• Near High-Frequency generating devices such as Electric Welder, Sewing Machine or and Microwave
Oven.
• Do not leave cables exposed on the ground where they may be trampled upon, or get damaged by
entangling with feet or pressure from other heavy objects.
Power Supply
• This product should be operated with proper supply voltage. If you are not sure about supply voltage,
contact authorized dealer.
• The System does not work in isolation from the environment. Power is fed to the system for functioning of
the system. Also, static charges could find their way through the system components.
Protect the system from static charges
• Every person carries some static charge in his/her body depending upon body composition and the
environment around them. Most of the times, this charge finds its way to the earth when the person
touches any object which is grounded, or when the person is barefoot.
• Generally, persons installing or handling electronic and electrical equipment take precaution to wear
appropriate footwear to get protection from electric shocks. Doing so, the static charge accumulates in his/
her body and does not find its way to the ground. But when such a person touches any of the electronic
parts, the static charge finds its way through the electronic components thereby causing damage to the
system.
