1 Getting Started
1.1 For Your Safety
Caution! Users and installers should note: To disconnect power from the Canopy 45 Mbps Backhaul, unplug
the unit from AC (mains). There is no power switch on the unit.
Warning! Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
Warning! Use extreme care when working at heights.
Caution! When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are
present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed in a location where it is
possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.
Warning! A 45 Mbps Backhaul Outdoor Unit must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the
user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct
installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. Installation of the outdoor unit should be
done by a professional installer familiar with codes and safety practices.
Caution! Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for connections that will be
exposed to the weather.
Caution! Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied by Motorola as
part of the system.
