1. INSTALLATION RULES
WHEN CARRYING OUT THE GIVEN OPERATIONS OBSERVE THE NORMS STATES IN
RELATIVE CHAPTER IN TECHNICAL HANDBOOK COD 3DB 05653 BAAA
1.1. Safety Rules
The Safety Rules describe the operations and/or precautions to observe to safeguard operating personnel
during the working phases and to guarantee equipment safety.
Please read them with accuracy before to start every action on the equipment.
1.2. General Rules
•Check that the equipment is operating with all the shields properly positioned (dummy covers, ESD
connector protections, etc.)
•Carefully observe the front-panel warning labels prior to working on optical connections while the
equipment is in-service
• In order to reduce the risk of damage the electrostatic sensitive devices, is mandatory to use the
elasticized band (around the wrist) and the coiled cord joined connect with the ground rack during the
touching of the equipment.
•All the measures must be done at the MDF/CDF points (MDF= Mini Distributor Frame, CDF= Customer
Distributor Frame).
ATTENTION EMC NORMS
SAFETY RULES
Carefully observe the front-panel warning labels prior to working on
optical connections while the equipment is in-service.

ED 01
3DB 05653 DAAA 8/104
1.2.1. Safety instruction
Equipment emitting RF power (Reminder from site preparation procedure):
- The site must be compliant with ICNIRP guidelines or local regulation if more restrictive.
- The following rules should be strictly applied by Customer:
• Non authorized persons should not enter the compliance boundaries, if any, for the general public.
• Compliance RF boundaries, if any, related to Electro Magnetic Field exposure must be marked.
• Workers should be allowed to switch-off the power if they have to operate inside compliance
boundaries.
• Assure good cable connection.
• Install the antenna as high as possible from floor or area with public access (if possible the
cylinder delimitating the compliance boundaries, if any, or the cylinder corresponding to the
transmission area directly in front of antenna with the same diameter as the antenna, more than 2
meters high).
• Install the antenna as far as possible from other existing equipment emitting RF power.
- Anyway remind that someone standing in front of the 9400 AWY antenna may cause traffic
shutdown
Place the relevant stickers:
EMF EMISSION
WARNING SIGN
On the site when applicable (when people can cross the compliance boundaries
and/or the transmission area of the antenna, i.e. roof top installation)
- Warning label «Do not stand on the antenna axis»
On the mast (front side)
- EMF emission warning sign (Yellow and black) to be placed at bottom o
f
antenna, visible by someone moving in front of the antenna (roof top installation)
On the antenna (rear side)
- EMF emission warning sign, placed on the antenna.

1.3. Unpacking and Warehousing
1.3.1. General
The following procedures have been issued and must be observed when unpacking the equipment. The
reciprocal operation must be done for repacking. In such case it is recommended to use the original packing
material.
The following sturdy outer packing material is utilized in order to protect the equipment against mechanical
and climatic stresses to which they are subjected:
wooden crates for transport by ship, air, on road for periods longer than 60 days
ply-wood crates for transport by ship, air, on road for periods of 30 to 60 days
cardboard boxes for transport by air or on road for periods of less than 30 days
1.3.2. Unpacking
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
The following information should be printed on the outer crate:
•International symbols
side up :
keep dry
fragile
•trade mark/address of the manufacturing company;
•labels (or templated marks) indicating information on the contract and destination site of the
product;
•an envelope holding among others the packing list
Upon receipt check:
•that the final destination of the crates is that indicated on the label;
•that no damage was made to the cases
Report any shipping damages to the Company’s representative or the Shipping Agent.
UNPACKING
When having to unpack proceed as follows:
•make sure that the packing has been properly positioned, refer to the symbol
•open the case;
•remove the shockproof material;
•remove the goods from the case;
•remove prepacking, the polyethylene bag and any other protection;
•remove the plastic bags cello taped to the rack and containing accessories;
•remove the dehydrating bags;
•ascertain that the goods are not damaged and that they correspond to those indicated on the
packing list enclosed in the envelope. Conversely, contact the agency’s representative.
N.B. When unpacking it is advisable to handle the packing material with care; it might be reused for packing
again if it must be reshipped.
