This MC-Series High Power Implementation Guide provides an overview of the
RadioFrame Networks High Power Microcell (MC-Series) system and describes
standards for installing, modifying and maintaining RadioFrame Networks equipment at
Sprint Nextel customer sites. All specifications and requirements pertain to MC-Series
system equipment operating in 800 and/or 900 MHz band(s) with high-power
amplification, as required in some Sprint Nextel iDEN (integrated Digital Enhanced
Network) installations. RadioFrame Networks recommends reading the entire manual
before attempting to install or operate RadioFrame Networks equipment.

1.2 General Safety Information
Read all the notices in this section prior to installing or using the MC-Series High-Power
system or any of its components.
1.2.1 Static Sensitive Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It
occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in
complete or intermittent failures.
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, always put on a conductive
wrist strap connected to a grounding device to discharge any accumulated static
charges. All RFN FRUs ship with a disposable anti-static wrist strap.
