SAFETY SUMMARY
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure,
and do not appear elsewhere in this manual. These Safety Summaries are recommended
precautions that all personnel must understand and apply during any given phase of
operation and maintenance. Each chapter has other specific warnings and cautions.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Personnel
must
at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not replace components or
make adjustments inside equipment with power turned on. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist when the power switch is in the off position due to charges
retained by capacitors. To avoid injury, always remove power and discharge and ground a
circuit before touching it.
VOLTAGES WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT ARE HIGH ENOUGH TO
ENDANGER LIFE.
(Applies to battery chargers only)
Covers are
not
to
be
removed except by persons qualified and authorized to do so and
these persons should always take extreme care once the covers have been removed.
HAZARDS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION TO ORDNANCE (HERO)
DO NOT operate the radio within 27 feet (8 meters) of any type of fuzed ordnance.
Operating the radio in close proximity to ordnance MAY induce or otherwise couple
currents and/or voltages of magnitudes large enough to initiate electro-explosive devices
or other sensitive explosive components of weapon systems, ordnance, or explosive
devices
.
CAUTION - LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Li-ion batteries have a very high energy density. Exercise precaution when handling and
testing. Do not short circuit, overcharge, crush, mutilate, nail penetrate, apply reverse
polarity, expose to high temperature or disassemble. High case temperature resulting from
abuse could cause physical injury.
REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS TO EQUIPMENT
Repairs to this equipment should be made only by an authorized technician or facility
designated by Thales. Any repairs, alterations, or substitutions of recommended parts
made by the user to this equipment not approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment in addition to Thales’s Warranty.
