•
Do not operate wireless equipment without an appropriate termination
•
Do not work directly in front of an energized antenna. Prior to working on the antenna
or RF assembly, ensure that the RF assembly is not radiating energy. When power is
applied to the RF assembly and antenna, proper precautions must be taken to avoid
placing any part of the human body in front of the antenna.
•
The outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.
For installations in the USA, refer to Articles 810830 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA #70, for information with respect to proper grounding and applicable
lightning protection for DC cables.
