Chapter 1 1.6 Safety Instructions Electrical Safety 1.6.1 Connection to the AC Power Supply Electrical connections between the repeater and the building/site electrical service panel must comply with the following conditions: • A properly rated circuit breaker must be installed in the building/site electrical service panel. • A properly rated power cable must be used to connect the repeater to the building/site electrical service panel.
Chapter 1 1.7 Safety Instructions RF Safety 1.7.1 Non-ionizing Radiation The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has determined that it may be harmful for the human body to be exposed to Radio Frequencies in the range of 3KHz to 300GHz. In that range, people are not allowed to be exposed to RF power levels greater than 1mW/cm2 for longer than 5 minutes. 1.7.2 Rules for Operating the Repeater Opening RF lines during operation may cause electric arcs that can cause burns and eye injuries.
Chapter 1 1.9 Safety Instructions Static Electricity This product contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive devices. Careless handling during repair can weaken, damage or destroy the devices. Items such as clothing, paper/cardboard and plastics are the most common sources of electrostatic discharge. Please ensure that cellophane, plastics, masking tapes and white foam do not come into contact with ESD sensitive modules or their packaging. 1.9.
Chapter 1 Safety Instructions 1.10.1 Rescue Breathing 1. Find out if the person is breathing. You must find out if the person has stopped breathing. If you think he is not breathing, place him flat on his back. Put your ear close to his mouth and look at his chest. If he is breathing you can feel the air on your cheek. You can see his chest move up and down. If you do not feel the air or see the chest move, he is not breathing. 2. If he is not breathing, open the airway by tilting his head backwards.
