Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by 
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give 
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, 
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may 
be particularly important in rural areas.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the 
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an 
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer 
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

All eMachines systems equipped with CD and DVD drives comply with the appropriate safety standards, 
including IEC 825. The laser devices in these components are classified as “Class 1 Laser Products” under a US 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard. Should the unit ever need 
servicing, contact an authorized service location.

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to your computer, make sure that the antenna or cable 
system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper 
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size 
of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode.

For added protection of any eMachines product during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused 
for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

To avoid electrical shock or equipment malfunction do not attempt to 
make electrical ground connections by yourself. Contact the 
appropriate inspection authority or an electrician, as appropriate.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other 
than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure. To prevent exposure to laser beams, do not try to open the 
enclosure of a CD or DVD drive.
