1. SAFETY AND REGULATORY INFORMATION

1.1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTIONS

The following conventions are used throughout this manual set to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of installation, operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual set violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. M/A-COM, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these standards.

The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met.

The electrical hazard symbol indicates there is an electrical shock hazard present!

MM-009290-001

The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the

CAUTION

equipment or severely degrade equipment performance.

The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system performance or clarify a process or procedure.

The ESD symbol calls attention to procedures, practices, or the like, which could expose equipment to the effects of Electro-Static Discharge. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent ESD when handling circuit modules.

MM-009290-001

1.2 MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS

DO NOT TRANSMIT with this base station and its antenna when persons are within the MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) radius of the radio frequency (RF) antenna. The MPE radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by the FCC.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW ALL PERSONS WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION, WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BASE STATION OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING BASE STATION TRANSMISSION. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR MUST ENSURE NO BYSTANDERS ARE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS LIMITS WHEN THE STATION IS TRANSMITTING.

1.3 DETERMINING MPE RADIUS

THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS is unique for each site and is determined during site licensing time based on the complete installation environment (i.e. co-location, antenna type, transmit power level, etc.). Determination of the MPE radius is the responsibility of the installation licensee. Calculation of the MPE radius is required as part of the site licensing procedure with the FCC.

1.4 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

THIS BASE STATION GENERATES RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY WHEN IT IS TRANSMITTING. THIS BASE STATION IS DESIGNED FOR AND CLASSIFIED AS “OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY,” MEANING IT MUST BE USED ONLY IN THE COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT BY INDIVIDUALS AWARE OF THE HAZARDS AND THE WAYS TO MINIMIZE SUCH HAZARDS. THIS BASE STATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY THE “GENERAL POPULATION” IN AN UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BASE STATION OPERATOR TO ENSURE THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING STATION TRANSMISSIONS. THE BASE STATION OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.

When licensed by the FCC, this base station complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. In addition, the M/A-COM base station’s installation complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC

Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels

with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for

the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

TO ENSURE HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE, DO NOT OPERATE THE BASE STATION IN A MANNER THAT WOULD CREATE AN

CAUTION

MPE RADIUS IN EXCESS OF THAT ALLOWED BY THE FCC.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION

1.5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MM-009290-001

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. M/A-COM

Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these standards.

SAVE THIS MANUAL — It contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions.

1. BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT, please follow and adhere to all warnings, safety and

operating instructions located on the product and in this manual.

2. GROUNDING AND POWER CONNECTION — To reduce risk of electrical shock and to

minimize exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy, connect the equipment to a properly grounded power source and site ground point as described in this manual.

3. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE RF EXPOSURE LIMITS —This equipment generates and uses RF

energy. Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by M/A-COM may cause harmful interference and could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

4. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE COMPONENTS — This equipment contains

electronic components that may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Proper precaution must be taken when handling circuit modules. As a minimum, grounded wrist straps should be used at all times when handling circuit modules.

5. Care should be taken so objects do not fall onto or liquids do not spill into the interior of the

equipment.

6. DO NOT connect auxiliary equipment not recommended or sold by M/A-COM. To do so may result

in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

7. DO NOT attempt to operate this product in an explosive atmosphere unless it has been specifically

certified for such operation.

MM-009290-001

8. To reduce risk of electric shock, isolate the unit and disconnect electrical power before attempting

any maintenance or interior cleaning.

9. Use only fuses of the correct type, voltage rating and current rating as specified in the parts list.

Failure to do so can result in fire hazard.
