Property Damage Warnings
General Installation Safety Requirements
Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge
High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the
antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close
proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation.
If the CAP L2 power connector is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must
be provided within easy reach.
Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.
Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that all warning labels are kept in a
legible condition. Replace any missing or damaged labels.
Make sure the unit's settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product
information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare
parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.
Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically
powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet
location or during a lightning storm.
This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum clearance from
the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, power down the CAP L2 before servicing
the antenna.
Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so.
The CAP L2 is to be used only with CommScope (NEC Class 2) or Limited Power Source ERA Subrack, or
equivalent.
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear
an ESD wrist strap when working with ERA hardware components. Not all ERA hardware requires
grounding. For those ERA hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground
wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the ERA component. Wear the
wrist strap the entire time that you work with the ERA hardware.
