1.2 General Safety Precautions
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this
manual violates safety standards of design manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Jackson
Labs Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.
1.2.1 Grounding
To avoid damaging the sensitive electronic components in the LTE-Lite GSPDO kit or board always
make sure to discharge any built-up electrostatic charge to a good ground source, such as power
supply ground. This should be done before handling the circuit board or anything connected to it, i.e.
the GPS antenna.
1.2.2 Antenna Lightning Protection
Always use a UL-certified, properly installed Antenna Lightning suppressor on the antenna cable
when mounting the GPS antenna. Without proper Lightning Protection damage to equipment, injury,
or death may result.
1.2.3 Power Connections
Make sure to connect the DC power to the device following the polarity indicated in Section 2.1. Do
not reverse the power pins as this will cause serious damage to the circuit board.
1.2.4 Environmental Conditions
This instrument is intended for indoor use. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative
non-condensing humidity of 95% and at altitudes of up to 4000 meters. Refer to the specifications
tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature range.
