Motorola MTR2000 T5544 Instruction / Field Service Manual page 2

The Safety and Installation Information contained below supersedes any other safety information associated with the MTR 2000 product line.
Compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to Electromagnetic Energy (EME) at
Transmitter Antenna sites generally requires that Personnel working at a site shall be aware of
the potential for exposure to EME and can exercise control of exposure by appropriate means,
C a u t i o n
such as adhering to warning sign instructions, using standard operating procedures (work
practices), wearing personal protective equipment, or limiting the duration of exposure. For
more details and specific guidelines, see Appendix A of the R56 Standards and Guidelines for
Communications Sites (6881089E50) manual.
Observe the following general safety precautions during all phases of operation, service and repair
of the equipment described in this manual. Follow the safety precautions listed below and all other
warnings and cautions necessary for the safe operation of all equipment. Refer to the appropriate
section of the product service manual for additional pertinent safety information. Because of the
danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modifications of equipment.
NOTE
The installation process requires preparation and knowledge of the site before installation begins.
Review installation procedures and precautions in the Motorola R56 manual Standards and
Guidelines for Communications Sites (6881089E50) before performing any site or component
installation.
Always follow all applicable safety procedures, such as Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements, National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, local code
requirements, safe working practices, and good judgment must be used by personnel. 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.
• All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with the Motorola R56 manual
Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites (6881089E50) 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 extremely 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.
• Have personnel 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 shall be installed in site meeting the requirements of a "restricted access location,"
per UL60950-1, which is defined as follows: "Access can only be gained by service persons or
by user who have been warned about the possible burn hazard on equipment metal housing.
Access to the equipment is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security,
and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location."

ATTENTION!
Burn hazard. The metal housing of the product may become
extremely hot. Use caution when working around the equipment.
The warning label for hot surfaces is shown on the right.
W A R N I N G
RF energy burn hazard. Disconnect power in the cabinet to
prevent injury while disconnecting and connecting antennas.
W A R N I N G
All TX and RX RF cables' outer shields must be grounded per
Motorola R56 requirements.
C a u t i o n
DC input voltage shall be no higher than 60VDC. This
maximum voltage shall include consideration of the battery
charging "float voltage" associated with the intended supply
C a u t i o n
system, regardless of the marked power rating of the
equipment. Failure to follow this guideline may result in
electric shock.
All TX and RX RF cables shall be connected to a surge
protection device according to Motorola R56 documents. Do
not connect TX and RX RF cables directly to an outside antenna.
C a u t i o n
IMPORTANT: All equipment must be serviced by Motorola trained personnel.
