install, replace, or service this equipment.

 

WARNING:

national electrical codes.

 

CAUTION:

 

Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip 

loop in any cable that is attached to the AP or the building. This will

cell or micro cell radio. When the SC8800-S uses RJ-45 cables, 
connect and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands (B in 
Figure 1).
