Warnings and Admonishments
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for
safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to
ensure the safe use of RF energy.
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity
on or near equipment involving installation, operation or
maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or dirty
conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as
pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid being damaged.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESD-sensitive.
Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESDsensitive devices in static-safe environments.
