2-1 WARNING - Installation of the bi-directional repeater requires a minimum of two people.
2-1 WARNING - Removing the bi-directional repeater assembly from the shipping carton requires a
minimum of two persons.
2-5 WARNING - Ensure proper use of safety tools (work gloves and hard hat) during assembly and
disassembly of antenna.
2-6 WARNING - Before using the hammer, ensure a wedge is placed in the top of the hammer so that the
hammer head does not come loose, thereby endangering personnel.
3-3, 6-10,
6-12 WARNING - Before performing removal/replacement procedures, make sure power is removed from
the unit by disconnecting from power source. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
6-11 WARNING - This equipment is capable of generating RF power sufficient to cause RF burns. During
transmit, care should be taken to eliminate the possibility of touching exposed RF output points such as
the center conductors of coaxial cables or antenna feedpoints.
2-1 CAUTION - Exercise care when removing units from packing material in order to prevent damage to the
unit.
3-3 CAUTION - Never apply pressure sensitive tape directly to connectors. This could damage connector
pins.
3-3 CAUTION - Package all electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive assemblies in ESD bags before shipping
or storing.
3-3 CAUTION - Rough handling may cause unnecessary damage to electronic assemblies.
3-3 CAUTION - Electronic assemblies containing solid-state devices are susceptible to damage from static
electrical discharges. Wear protective clothing and grounded wrist straps
3-3 CAUTION - Forcing any tilted or cocked electronic assembly into position may result in bent or broken
pins.
3-4 CAUTION - When repairing an electronic assembly, be careful that the tool employed does not
inadvertently press against leads, pins, or other parts that are easily bent.
3-4 CAUTION - Because of the miniaturization of parts for electronic assembly construction, the leads,
connectors, and pins have been stiffened to make them more rugged. As a result, such parts are brittle
and will break easily if bent too often or pulled on too hard. When handling an assembly that has been
removed from its chassis, be careful not to press against the leads and pins. When removing an assembly,
be sure to pull it straight out from the equipment. Do not cock, twist, pry, or carelessly jerk an electronic
assembly to remove it from the mounting or connector.
3-4 CAUTION - The bi-directional repeater contains components that are susceptible to damage by static
electrical charges. Disassembly of the bi-directional repeater should only be done at a properly grounded
work station.
6-12 CAUTION - The bi-directional repeater contains components that are susceptible to damage by static
electrical charges. Disassembly of the bi-directional repeater should only be done at a properly grounded
work station.
