General Safety Precautions
FCC/ISED Compliance Guidelines
WARNING: Compliance with FCC/ISED guidelines for human exposure to Electromagnetic
Energy (EME) at Transmitter Antenna sites generally requires that personnel working at a site
must be aware of the potential for exposure to EME, and can exercise control of exposure by
appropriate means, such as adhering to warning sign instructions, using standard operating
procedures (work practices), wearing personal protective equipment, or limiting the duration of
exposure. For more details and specific guidelines, see “Appendix A: Electromagnetic Energy
Information” of the Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites
manual.
Installation guidelines for compliance with RF exposure regulations
This equipment must be installed and operated at a fixed location, in compliance with all applicable
code requirements. The antenna installation must comply with all applicable building and safety codes.
In order to ensure optimal communication performance and compliance with applicable RF exposure
limits, it is recommended that the antenna is installed outside the building hosting this equipment, on
the roof or on a tower if at all possible.
It is the licensee or site owner responsibility to establish an RF exposure safety program meeting the
applicable regulatory requirements concerning RF exposure of working personnel and the general
public, implementing actions such as site survey measurements and computational analysis, signage
and barriers, site access restrictions, as needed.
General safety precautions during all phases of operation, service, and repair
Observe the following general safety precautions during all phases of operation, service, and repair of
the equipment described in this manual. Follow the safety precautions listed and all other warnings and
cautions necessary for the safe operation of all equipment. Due to the danger of introducing additional
hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications of equipment.
NOTE: The installation process requires preparation and knowledge of the site before
installation begins. Review installation procedures and precautions in the Motorola Solutions
Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual before performing any site or
component installation.
Always follow all applicable safety procedures, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requirements, National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, local code requirements, and safe
working practices. Also, all personnel must practice good judgment. General safety precautions include
the following:
•
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this
manual before installing, servicing, or operating the equipment. Retain these safety instructions for
future reference.
• If troubleshooting the equipment while power is on, be aware of the live circuits.
• Do not operate the radio transmitters unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are
properly terminated.
• Ground all equipment properly in accordance with the Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines
for Communication Sites manual and specified installation instructions for safe operation.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover openings that
protect the devices from overheating.
