1.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 Electric Shock Hazard
To avoid electric shock, switch the BDA “OFF” prior to performing any repairs. All repairs beyond
modular replacement must be performed by Andrew Trained Technicians.
1.2 Hot Surface Hazard
RF power into the BDA will be limited by the use of high power attenuators. These attenuators
will be located at the transmitter source. Caution should be taken when working near high
power attenuators due to the risk of being burned by its hot surface.
Due to the amount of heat dissipated by the BDA heat fins, caution should be taken when
working near heat fins due to the risk of being burned by its hot surface.
1.3 Optical Laser Hazard
To avoid injury to the eyes, do not look directly into fiber optic transceiver transmit port (Tx).
