1 Safety Precautions
PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
RF Energy Health Hazard
The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters. Although the
power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may pose a health hazard.
Do not allow people to come in close proximity to the front of the antenna while the transmitter is
operating. The antenna will be professional installed on fixed-mounted outdoor permanent
structures to provide separation from any other antenna and all persons as detailed on page 1-2.
Protection from Lightning
Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies that radio
and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point of entry to
the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from an external antenna must have the
shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground electrode.
Proper Disposal
The manufacture of the equipment described herein has required the extraction and use of
