Safety Precautions
Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in the Safety Warnings for Cisco Aironet Antennas,
which is available at http://www.cisco.com.
Warning:
Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation
directions.
Warning:
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work
on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices
for preventing accidents.
Warning:
In order to comply with international radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dish antennas should be
located at a minimum of 8.7 inches (22 cm) or more from the bodies of all persons. Other antennas should be
located a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the bodies of all persons.
Warning:
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning:
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an
electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Warning:
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact
with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna,
please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada:
Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the
victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may
save your life!
1.
If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance.
Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are
about to install.
2.
Select your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember, electric power lines and phone
lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
3.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This
is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake.
4.
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a
matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned a specific task and should know what to do and when to do
it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
5.
When installing your antenna, remember:
a.
Do not use a metal ladder.
b.
Do not work on a wet or windy day.
c.
Do dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
