SAFE T Y & INSTALL ATIONIN FORMATIONEach Redbox is shipped in protective packaging and should be inspected for damage beforeuse. Where an item is found to have transit damage, notify the carrier immediately with allthe relevant details of the shipment. Packing materials should be kept for inspection andalso for if the product needs to be returned.Returning the Warranty CardIn order to register the date of purchase so that we can keep you informed of any designimprovements or modifications, it is important to complete the warranty registrationdocument that is enclosed and return it to Sonifex Ltd in the UK, or register online atwww.sonifex.co.uk/registerSerial Number Safety InformationSafety of Mains Operated EquipmentThis equipment has been designed to meet the safety regulations currently advisedin the country of purchase and it conforms to the safety regulations specified byuse of the CE Mark.Warning : There are no user serviceable parts inside the equipment. If you should everneed to look inside the unit, always disconnect the mains supply before removing theequipment covers.Voltage Setting ChecksEnsure that the machine operating voltage is correct for your mains power supply bychecking the rear panel of your Redbox. The available voltage settings are 115V, or 230V.Please note that all Redboxes are either switchable between 115V and 230V, or have auniversal power supply.Fuse RatingS A FE T Y & I N STALL ATION INFO RMATIO NFor your own records you should write down the serial number (which can be found on therear of the Redbox.The Redboxes are supplied with a single fuse in the live conducting path of the powerinfeed at the power supply. For reasons of safety it is important that the correct ratingand type of fuse is used. Incorrectly rated fuses could present a possible fire hazard, underequipment fault conditions. See the Technical Specifications of each product for the fuserating. The active fuse is fitted on the outside rear panel of the unit.Redbox User Handbook No 2iii

S A F E T Y & I NSTALL ATIONINF O R MAT I ONWEEE & RoHS Directives - Sonifex StatementSAFE T Y & INS TALL ATION IN FORMAT I ONThe Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was agreed on13 February 2003, along with the related Directive 2002/95/EC on Restrictionsof the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronicequipment (RoHS).The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) aims to minimise theimpacts of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment during their life timesand when they become waste. It applies to a huge spectrum of products. It encouragesand sets criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical andelectronic equipment. All products manufactured by Sonifex Ltd have the WEEE directivelabel placed on the case. It gives a contact for individuals who are unsure about the correctprocedure when the product has reached its “end of use”.Sonifex Ltd will be happy to give you information about local organisations that canreprocess the products, or alternatively all products that have reached “end of use” can bereturned to Sonifex and will be reprocessed correctly free of charge.Sonifex Ltd has phased out the use of certain hazardous substances identified in theEuropean Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. The RoHS directivelimits the use of certain hazardous substances currently used in EEE manufacture, includinglead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and halide-containing compounds PBB(polybrominated biphenyl) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether). Elimination of thesesubstances will result in more environmentally friendly recycling of electronic equipment.For the products which Sonifex manufacture, the main area where products were affectedwas in the use of lead for manufacturing and assembling electronics circuit boards.Sonifex Ltd practices lead-free (LF) manufacturing processes. LF solder is used on thesurface-mount PCB manufacturing processes and for hand soldering. The printed circuitboards (PCBs) used are either gold plated, or immersion tin plated, both of which use nolead. Historically the PCBs were hot air solder levelled (HASL) PCBs which used tin/leadbased solder.The manufacturing processes include the assembly of purchased components from varioussources. Product is offered as RoHS compliant, or LF, only after sufficient evidence is receivedfrom the component manufacturers that their components are RoHS compliant. SonifexLtd relies solely on the distributor, or manufacturer, of the components for identification ofRoHS compliance. Thus whilst every effort is made to ensure compliance, Sonifex Ltd makesno warranty, or certification, or declaration of compliance concerning said components.Sonifex Ltd defines “Lead Free” as pertaining to any product, which has been manufacturedby Sonifex Ltd using components which have been declared by the manufacturers as“Lead Free”. All statements by Sonifex Ltd of RoHS compliance are based on componentmanufacturer documentation.viRedbox User Handbook No 2
