Safety products must conform to pertinent laws, regulations, and standards. Make sure that they are
installed and used in accordance with the laws, regulations, and standards of the country where the
devices and equipment incorporating these products are distributed.
Carefully read the specifications and precautions as well as all items in the Instruction Manual for your
safety product to learn appropriate usage procedures. Any deviation from instructions will lead to unex-
pected device or equipment failure not anticipated by the safety-related system.
When transferring devices and equipment, be sure to retain one copy of the Instruction Manual and
supply another copy with the device or equipment so the person receiving it will have no problems with
operation and maintenance.
