DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing
any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has been disconnected and wait
approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death or serious injury. When the base station is installed in an outdoor
location, all indoor components (e.g. Ethernet and power supply) should be connected through a
lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that may strike the
base station or its outdoor cables. Therefore, install the lightning protector base station indoors, as
close as possible to the point where the cables enter the building. The lightning protector can also be
installed outdoors as long as the cables that lead indoors are well protected from lightning between the
protector and the building entrance.

following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
