(UPS) that supports the IP-RFS7000 power rating. Not using a UPS can result in
data loss or equipment damage due to a power surge or power failure.
• Verify that the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during
the operation of the equipment.
• Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces.
• Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during
thunderstorms or other weather conditions that could cause a power surge.
• Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and ambient
temperatures meet equipment operation specifications.
