GUARD AGAINST DAMAGE FROM ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
CAUTION! Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage,
always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with a Prism Remote Unit or when handling any
of its components—including the RF Modules. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap
to an earth ground source before touching the Prism Remote Unit or any of its components.
Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the Prism Remote Unit and its
components.
CAUTION! Place Prism RF Modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing them.
UNPACK AND INSPECT THE RF MODULE

CAUTION! Handle the RF Module with care during installation. Be especially careful to not damage the
thermal-interface material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA, DARTs, and/or Motherboard
with TX/RX boards. If the TIM is damaged, the LPA can overheat. Before installing the RF
Module, check to see if the heatsink material is gouged or cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do
not install the RF Module and contact CommScope for assistance (see "DCCSGlobalTechnical
Support”onpage119 for contact information).
CAUTION! If the thermal-interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may
void the warranty of the RF Module.
