General safety precautions
To ensure human and equipment safety, observe all the safety precautions marked on the equipment and provided
in this document. The WARNING , CAUTION , and NOTE marks in the document do not cover all the
safety precautions that must be followed; they only supplement general safety precautions as a whole.
When performing operations on Huawei products or equipment, strictly observe related safety precautions and
special safety instructions. The safety precautions in this document are only some that Huawei can predict. Huawei
is not liable for any consequences that result from violation of common safety regulations or equipment production
and usage regulations.
Safety Precautions
Personnel
Installation and maintenance personnel must be trained to perform operations correctly and safely.
The cabinet of the integrated RTN 980L long-haul system is heavy. When carrying or installing the cabinet, take
necessary measures to prevent the cabinet from falling down. If the cabinet falls down, protect your personal
safety first.
Local rules and regulations
When operating a device, obey local rules and regulations.
Elevated locations
The RTN 980L is usually installed in an elevated location, such as on the roof of a building. Adhere to the following
guidelines for installations in elevated locations:
Installation personnel must have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.
Installation personnel must wear helmets and safety belts and should work in pairs or teams.
Do not work in high places during thunderstorms, blizzards, gales, or other extreme weather conditions. When
working outdoors, installation personnel must wear clothes and gloves appropriate to the weather conditions, and anti-
slip footwear.
Hoisting tools should be tested before use.
All installation personnel and visitors onsite must wear helmets.
Hoisting heavy objects
Before hoisting heavy objects, clear the area to avoid hurting anyone nearby.
Before hoisting heavy objects, ensure that the hoisting tools are complete
and in good condition.
Before hoisting heavy objects, ensure that the hoisting tools are fixed to a
secure object or wall with good weight-bearing capacity.
Ensure that the angle between the two lifting slings is less than or equal to
90 degrees during the hoisting, as shown in the figure.
Devices and installation components
When operating devices and installation components, wear clean gloves.
Avoid direct contact with devices and installation components with bare
hands or dirty gloves.
Max 90°

Safety Precautions
Device safety
Before operating a device, check the electrical connection of the device to ensure that the device is securely
grounded.
Electrostatics produced by human bodies may damage electrostatic-sensitive components on boards, for
example, a large-scale integration (LSI). Therefore, take proper safety measures, such as wearing an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or ESD gloves, to avoid damage to the components when operating
the boards.
When operating storage batteries, take steps to prevent battery short circuits and electrolyte overflow or
leakage. Electrolyte overflow may corrode metal parts and boards, and ultimately cause equipment rust or
board short circuits.
Corrosion
Anti-corrosion measures are required if an RTN 980Lis installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact
your local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:
Within 3.7 km ( 12139 ft ) of an ocean or a salt water lake
Within 3 km ( 9843 ft ) of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine
Within 2 km ( 6562 ft ) of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant
Within 1 km ( 3281 ft ) of a light pollution source, such as a food or leather processing plant or industrial boiler
Microwave
High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmissions from the antennas of
microwave equipment that has the radiation warning symbol . When you are installing or performing
maintenance on an antenna located on a tower that has multiple antennas, be careful not to exposure yourself
to radiation from the other antennas.
IF Cable
Before installing or removing an IF cable, turn off power switch.

Antenna anticorrosion requirements or measures
When outdoor equipment or cabinets are installed in a harsh environment, ensure that the following
requirements are met:
•If glue dispensing is not done on the rivets or screws of the center plate and reflective surface of an antenna
before delivery, apply matching outdoor adhesive to them.
•Apply thread adhesive to screws used for installing antennas. This can prevent the screws from becoming
loose and improve corrosion resistance.
•After you finish installing screws, spread oil or spray paint on the surface of the screws.
•In areas with many birds, install protective covers to prevent birds' droppings from corroding antennas.
Definition of harsh environment
•More than 500m ( 1640 ft ) away from but within 3.7 km ( 12139 ft ) of an ocean or a salt water lake
Installation Precautions in a Harsh Environment
Precautions for Equipment Operating Environment
The operating environment for the integrated LH complies with ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 class 3.2 standards.
Recommended operating environment
To ensure the reliability of equipment, an equipment room must be equipped with dedicated air conditioners to
control the temperature and humidity within the following ranges:
•Temperature: 15ºC to 30ºC ( 59℉to 86℉)
•Relative humidity: 40% to 75%
Basic operating environment
With stable temperature and humidity in an equipment room, the integrated LH can work under the following
conditions:
•Temperature: –5ºC to +50ºC ( 23℉to 122℉)
•Relative humidity: 5 % to 95%

Precautions for Elliptical Waveguide Transportation and
Storage
Do not place the drum of
the elliptical waveguide
horizontally.
Always place the drum of
the elliptical waveguide
vertically and fasten it.
7

Do not hold a board without hand protection. Wear an ESD wrist strip or ESD gloves before handling a board.
Insert filler panels into vacant slots on an NE to prevent foreign matters from getting into the
NE, which may result in faults on the NE.
Boards are fragile and valuable. When handling or placing a board, exercise caution and put it
into a dedicated packing box.
Holding a board without hand protectionWearing ESD gloves Wearing an ESD strip
Hold the front panel of a board with hands.
