Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.
When opening the CAP H, do not damage the warranty labels on the internal devices. The warranty is void
if the seals are broken.
Make sure the repeater settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product
information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare
parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.
Safely Working with a CAP H
Due to power dissipation, the CAP H may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for
ventilation. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials. Use caution when
servicing the CAP H
Although the CAP H is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to ground
(earth) the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the unit for protection against atmospheric
discharge. In areas with strong lightning, it is strongly recommended to install additional lightning
protection.
.
Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear
an ESD wrist strap when working with Era hardware components. Not all Era hardware requires
grounding. For those hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on
the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the component. Wear the wrist strap the
entire time that you work with the hardware.
Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically
powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet
location or during a lightning storm.
Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so.
Read and observe all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that all warning labels are kept
in a legible condition. Replace any missing or damaged labels.
