at all times. The device is operational when connected to the mains power.
The device must be connected to a power supply with an earth contact, and should be positioned
close to the mains socket.
The electrical system supplying current to the device, e.g. a house installation, must incorporate
safety devices against excessive current, short-circuiting and earth leakages in accordance with
EN 60950-1.
The device may only be installed and operated by qualified persons (in accordance with EN
60065) or by persons who have been instructed by qualified persons. Maintenance work may only
be carried out by qualified service personnel.
The operating display only shows whether theDC current,which suppliesthe devicecomponents,
has been disconnected. However, operating displays (on the power supply unit or the device) that
are not lit up in no way indicate that the device is completely disconnected from the mains.
The subscriber network must be earthed in accordance with EN 50083-1, and must remain
earthed even when the device is removed. The earth connection on the device (≤4mm2)can also
be used, or the earth connection on the back of the device. Devices within hand's reach must be
