The following table describes the precautions that relate to installing or working on
the Eclipse Edge radio.
Topic Information
Equipment
Protrusions The equipment has been designed to be free of unnecessary protrusions
or sharp surfaces that may catch or otherwise cause injury during
handling. However, always take care when working on or around the
equipment.
Lifting Equipment Be careful when hoisting or lifting the ODU or its antenna during
installation or maintenance. The ODU is nominally 2.5 kg. However,
antennas with their mounting hardware can weigh in excess of 100 kg
and require specialized lifting equipment and an operator trained and
certified in its use.
Protection from RF
Exposure: Eclipse
Edge The Eclipse Edge radio does not generate RF fields intense enough to
cause RF burns. However, when installing, servicing or inspecting an
antenna always comply with the Protection from RF Exposure guidelines
under General Hazards.
Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user
or to the radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual.
