3.0 Preparations

3.1 Safety Conventions and Precautions

The following symbols appear within this document:

When this symbol appears on the equipment, it means that you should read
the manual for additional safety information before taking further action. When it
appears in the documentation, it highlights important safety-related information.

Performing the indicated procedure can expose you to hazardous voltages or
hazardous electrical currents. To avoid personal injury, disconnect power as
indicated in the text.

To avoid damaging this equipment with electrostatic discharge (ESD), place
a static-control strap on your wrist and attach the ground clip as indicated in the
text before handling the equipment.

Interruption of the safety earth ground system could create an electrical­shock hazard. To avoid personal injury, all electrical connections marked with
this symbol must be properly connected.

Observe all the general safety precautions against personal and equipment damage
outlined in the ISM at all times. ISM located at URL…..

Prior to starting the operations presented in this method, arrange all materials,
tools, and test equipment at the work location to minimize fatigue and
inconvenience.

Inspect equipment for damage upon receipt. If damage is detected, call the
Return Materials Authorization (RMA) office for replacement. (972) xxx-xxxx

Equipment will be placed per engineering specifications outlined in the
engineering package.

Read this method in its entirety prior to performing any procedures.

3.2 FCC Precautions

Caution changes or modifications not expressly approved by Raze Technologies

that pertain to compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the basestation
equipment.

· Only professional installers that have taken the Raze Technologies training class and

are certified will be able to install this equipment including the antenna.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

·

B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

o Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

o Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

o Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

· Radio frequency radiation exposure requirements:

This equipment is intended to be mounted on a fixed outdoor structure. A distance of 2
meters should be maintained between the radiating element and any nearby person.
The antenna should not be co-located with other antennas. Failure to observe these
restrictions may cause the equipment to operate with RF power density levels greater
than those allowed by FCC regulations.
