Warnings and Admonishments
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits
for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be
necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on
or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or
dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such
as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid being
damaged.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESD-
sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store,
and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
RF Safety
WARNING! To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, each individual antenna used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance greater than 170 cm or more from all persons during normal operation and
must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.
The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation safety levels and
non-environmental pollution during operation.
WARNING! Antenna gain should not exceed 12.5 dBi.
WARNING! The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation
safety levels and non-environmental pollution during operation.
Compliance with RF safety requirements:
• Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation.
• The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when the
antenna is not connected.
Power requirements for DC Inputs
WARNING! Only use a special DC supply cable with four connectors
WARNING! Always keep DC IN connectors connected during the product operation
WARNING! Disconnect all power from the equipment by means of an external circuit breaker before connecting or
disconnecting the DC IN connectors.
