ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Transceivers require the following routine maintenance. The user (or person responsible for the equipment on site)
should check transceivers periodically to verify that each transceiver and cables are maintained and remain securely
supported, clear of dust and obstructions, and away from potential causes of overheating.
Remove dust and obstructions from heat-sink fins.
Ensure that the unit is not subjected to excessive heat from adjacent equipment.
Make sure that the unit is securely mounted and supported.
Restrain cables to prevent stress on connectors.
Make sure that the SD memory card (CIM) door is securely closed.
Keep the indicator-LED panel dust-free and LEDs viewable.
For Base Station Transceivers, check fan operation and make sure the fans are not obstructed. More advanced
information about checking fan operation is provided later in this chapter. The following figure illustrates the areas
to keep unobstructed.
