Safety
Caution
Grounding the Terminal
In urban areas, ground the terminal with a grounding conductor in
accordance to national and local electrical codes.
Danger
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Information for Mobile Transmitting
Devices
When the power is on, maintain an off-axis safety distance of 0.7 meters
(2.3 feet), where “off axis” means 0.9 meters (3 feet) from the center of the
beam, and maintain an on-axis safety distance of 7 meters (23 feet).
Danger
Electrical Hazards in Wet and Windy Conditions
While the terminal is designed for outdoor use (e.g. optional waterproof
power supply), observe the following safety precautions during windy and
wet weather conditions. Some steps may not apply depending on the BUC
configuration.
Check cable connectors and power cords for damage or tears. Replace
cables and cords as needed.
Disconnect the terminal from its power source before you move it.
Disconnect the terminal from its power source if you suspect a power
malfunction
Warning
Hot Surfaces
When transmitting, do not touch the BUC as it may result in burns or injury.
Danger
Hazards of Microwave Radiation in Electromagnetic Fields
When the power is on, the area directly in front of the antenna is an Area of
Restricted Occupancy. Observe the following safety precautions:
1. Limit human exposure time to the area directly in front of the main antenna
assembly.
2. Never place any part of your body between the antenna and the Feed Horn
assembly.
3. Never place any part of your body in line with the direction of the antenna
transmission path.
4. Locate the terminal as far as possible from ungrounded metal.
