Receiving
2.3.1.1
Unpacking and Inspection
CAUTION
: Proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions shall be maintained when handling
equipment.
To unpack and inspect the equipment, perform the following procedures:
Inspect the shipping container for damage before unpacking the equipment. Document any obvious dents,
punctures, or other irregularities on the shipping form.
Open the container and remove the packing material on top of the equipment.
While performing the Assembly process, inspect the equipment for external damage including dents and
scratches.
Save the packing material and containers for reshipment and/or servicing.
NOTE
: If the container is damaged, open the container in the presence of the shipping carrier agent if
possible. If damage is found after the equipment is unpacked, retain the container and packing
materials for inspection. This is important if a damage claim must be filed.
CAUTION
: Do not attempt to operate the equipment if major damage is found. In the event
questionable damage (major or otherwise) is identified, contact ViaSat, Inc. for support.
2.3.1.2
Handling and Precautions
CAUTION
: Proper ESD precautions shall be maintained when handling equipment.
CAUTION:
Care must be taken when handling the antenna to prevent damage to the unprotected
Transmit Receive Integrated Assembly (TRIA), modem, semi-rigid cables, and wire bundle.
CAUTION:
Keep all connector covers on the units until ready to install. This will keep units clean from
foreign debris.
CAUTION:
Care must be taken to prevent the cables from being crushed or bent when installing the
Antenna onto its mounting position.
CAUTION:
Care must be taken when handling the antenna to prevent damage to the parabolic reflector,
feed, flexible cables, or any other antenna components.
CAUTION:
The reflector should only be moved in azimuth and elevation by hand, using a slow deliberate
motion. The reflector should never be moved quickly or jerked.
CAUTION:
Before applying power, clear the area around the antenna.
CAUTION:
Before connecting the interface cables to either the modem or the antenna, make sure the
modem power is off. DC power is present on the Receive and Transmit Inter-Facility Link cables when
power is on.
CAUTION:
Always lift Antenna by its base to avoid bending brackets and causing misalignment of
precision assemblies.
