1.1 Personal Safety

1.1.1 Explosive Environments

Warning!! Do not operate TB7100 base station equipment

near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive

atmosphere. Operating the equipment in these

environments is a definite safety hazard.

1.2 Equipment Safety

1.2.1 ESD Precautions

Important This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to

damage from static charges. You must handle these devices

carefully and according to the procedures described in the

manufacturers’ data books.

We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable

manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.

You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers

of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD

S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.
