To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the operation or
maintenance of the equipment must study the information that follows, together with local site
regulations.
WARNING: RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit. Exposure to RF or
microwave power can cause burns and may be harmful to health. Switch off supplies
before removing covers or disconnecting any RF cables, and before inspecting
damaged cables or antennas.
WARNING: Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look into the
open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may be present.
CAUTION: Users are strongly recommended to return any equipment that requires RF servicing to
Vislink.
WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard : Certain components inside the equipment contain Gallium
Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic substances. Whilst safe to handle under
normal circumstances, individual components must not be cut, broken apart,
incinerated or chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white ceramic
material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes, which are carcinogenic if
ingested, inhaled or entering damaged skin.
Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.
CAUTION: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward voltage, ripple
current or temperature these components may rupture and could potentially cause
personal injury.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions should be
employed to prevent accidental damage.
WARNING: DO NOT incinerate batteries. Exposing batteries to naked flames or extreme heat
sources can cause them to rupture or explode.
WARNING: DO NOT dispose of any of the supplied equipment as household waste. The supplied
equipment is not biodegradable in landfill sites. For safe disposal of the supplied
equipment, take it to your local (council/authority) environmental waste site. For
details, contact your local authority/recycling center.
