Even though a properly installed QGFSP includes grounding
and circuitry to help minimize damage to equipment, facilities,
and personnel from nearby lightning, lightning is a highly
unpredictable and dangerous phenomenon. It is impossible to
completely protect equipment and personnel from lightning
strikes. During electrical storms (thunderstorms):
Do not use the telephone
❑
Do not connect a computer to the RAU for the purposes of
❑
QGFSP service programming
Do not modify the QGFSP or related equipment

In areas of severe lightning activity, QUALCOMM recommends
use of a separate primary lightning protection system, such as
a lightning rod, to protect the antenna unit and associated
equipment from lightning strikes. Failure to properly install
the QGFSP or to include a separate lightning protection system
may cause electrical shock, fire, or damage to equipment. See
Figure 27 for recommended installation in conjunction with a
lightning protection system.
