1.2 General Precautions
Before you use the antenna, make sure that you have read and understood all safety requirements.
THIS WAY UP
• Place the boxes/crates on the floor with the arrow pointing up.
FRAGILE
• Since the Radome is fragile, handle it with care. Do not apply excessive pressure or
shock. These may cause surface cracking or other damage.
DO NOT STACK
• Do not stack boxes/crates as there is a risk boxes/crates may fall and be damaged.
KEEP DRY
• Always make sure the antenna is stored on a dried floor.
• The antenna can withstand ordinary rain. However it water resistance cannot be
guaranteed if submerged.
• Keep the antenna in dried place for sufficient ventilation. Do not store the antenna
wrapped in a tarp, tent, vinyl, and others.
* DO NOT SHIP VIA RAIL: Ensure not to ship any system via Rail.
• Before you begin a site installation, check the appropriate electrical code requirements and with other
regulations governing this kind of installation within the country of use.
• When installing, replacing, or disconnecting any cable components, make sure that each exposed metal
connector of the antenna is grounded firmly before the work.
• The outdoor antenna and antenna cables are electrical conductors so transients or electrostatic
discharges may occur at the antenna during thunderstorms. If the antenna is not installed properly, the
electronic equipment may be damage and/or cause personal injury or death to persons touching the
exposed metal connectors of the electronic equipment.
• Avoid installing the antenna at high-voltage arc-over place where there is any possibility of service drops
to buildings.
• Do not climb the tower during a thunderstorm or in windy, wet, icy, or snowy conditions.
• Do not touch antennas, surge arrestors, or antenna cables during a thunderstorm.
• ODE (Outdoor Equipment) must be properly mounted and secured to the tower. Failure to do so could
result in detachment of the unit, causing disruption in the unit's operation or could result in the unit
falling, which could cause serious injury or death.
• When installing the antenna, remember;
- DO NOT use a metal ladder.
- DO dress properly: wear rubber gloves, shoes with rubber soles and heels, and a long sleeve shirt or jacket.
