working practices. Also, all personnel must practice good judgment. General safety precautions include
the following:
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this
manual before installing, servicing, or operating the equipment. Retain these safety instructions for
future reference.
If troubleshooting the equipment while power is on, be aware of the live circuits.
Do not operate the radio transmitters unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are
properly terminated.
Ground all equipment properly in accordance with the Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines
for Communication Sites manual and specified installation instructions for safe operation.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover openings that
protect the devices from overheating.
Only a qualified technician familiar with similar electronic equipment should service equipment.
Some equipment components can become hot during operation. Turn off all power to the
equipment and wait until sufficiently cool before touching.
Maintain emergency first aid kits at the site.
Direct personnel to call in with their travel routes to help ensure their safety while traveling between
remote sites.
Institute a communications routine during certain higher risk procedures where the on-site
technician continually updates management or safety personnel of the progress so that help can be
dispatched if needed.
Never store combustible materials in or near equipment racks. The combination of combustible
material, heat, and electrical energy increases the risk of a fire safety hazard.
Equipment installed at the site meeting the requirements of a "restricted access location," per
UL60950-1, is defined as follows: "Access can only be gained by service persons or by a user who
has been warned about the possible burn hazard on equipment metal housing. Access to the
equipment is by using a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the
authority responsible for the location."
WARNING: Burn hazard. The metal housing of the product may become extremely hot. Use
caution when working around the equipment.

WARNING: DC input voltage must be no higher than 60 VDC. This maximum voltage includes
consideration of the battery charging "float voltage" associated with the intended supply system,
regardless of the marked power rating of the equipment. Failure to follow this guideline may
result in electric shock.
RF energy burn hazard:
disconnect power in the cabinet to prevent injury while disconnecting
and connecting antennas.
CAUTION: All Tx and Rx RF cables outer shields must be grounded per Motorola Solutions
Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual requirements.
All Tx and Rx RF cables must be connected to a surge protection device according to the
Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual. Do not connect
Tx and Rx RF cables directly to an outside antenna.
