AIRBUS IRIDIUM SATCOM SYSTEM
GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings
and instructions before operation.
This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electro
–
static discharge) protected environment. This is be
cause most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument are susceptible to damage by static dis
charge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or
mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device performance, early failure,
or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and nor
mal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be
taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sensitive de
vices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.
In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build
–
up on work surfaces and persons
handling the devices.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.
Servicing instructions are for use by service
–
trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do
not perform any servicing unless qualified to do so.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the instrument while protective
covers are removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
