SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Safety
WARNING

Energy hazard

The 48 V d.c. supply or any voltage converter can deliver high currents.
The DC supply can deliver high currents. Remove all rings, watches and other
metal jewellery before removing cover. Do not bridge connectors with tools, etc.

CAUTION

Static sensitive devices

The cards contain static sensitive devices. These devices are sensitive to static
electricity and must be protected by special handling and packaging.

Note that the designation main line on the G4AF modem is equivalent to line on the G4AE modem.
Test points
The test points and the line connections are in parallel so the tests can be performed
using the test points XT1 to XT4 or the line connections X8 and, for the G4AF modem, X9.
