2.2 Hazard warnings
•Environment - Do not place the Network Power Unit (
NPU)
in a
very cold, dusty, wet or high humidity environment.
The unit should
be situated away from all heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, amplifiers and other heat producing
appliances.
• Fire or electric shock - Do not expose the NPU to any type of
moisture, including rain. Do not use or install near water-related
environments such as sinks, bathtubs, laundry areas, spas, swimming
pools, or in wet basements. Take care not to spill any liquids on the
unit.
• Use extreme caution when installing antennas in areas with overhead
power lines. Outdoor antennas and their supporting masts, guy wires,
and cables are electrical conductors. Contact with high-voltage
electrical wires can cause serious injury or death.
• Because antennas and wireless routers are elevated metal objects with
connections to ground, they attract lightning. Attach a grounding wire
to the antenna and router to provide a safe path to ground for
lightning.
• Do not install the router near medical equipment or in a hospital or
medical environment without ensuring that there will be no
interference with such equipment.
• Persons with pacemakers should not go close to the router on the roof.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place
with a pacemaker, switch off the router immediately.
• Co-location - In certain situations, multiple wireless routers may be
co-located on the rooftop of a residential subscriber. To comply with
RF safety requirements, there must be a minimum distance of one
meter (either horizontally or vertically, depending on the rooftop
environment) between each wireless router. Wireless routers may not
be co-located with or work in conjunction with other transmitting
devices without professional installation.
•RF exposure - To comply with RF safety requirements, do not go
closer than 20 cm of the antenna on the roof when the Network/Power
Unit is plugged in.
