GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and therefore do
not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must
understand and apply during many phases of operation and maintenance.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Personnel must at all times observe all safety precautions. Do not replace components or make adjustments
inside the equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. Under certain conditions, the potential for
danger may exist when the power control is in the OFF position due to charges retained by capacitors. To
avoid severe shock or injuries, always remove power and ground a circuit before touching it.
DO NOT SERVICE OR MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ALONE
Under no circumstance should any person reach into the enclosure for the purpose of servicing or making
adjustments to the equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
RESUSCITATION
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.
HANDLING
To prevent personal injury or damage to the equipment, ensure the following lifting weights are not
exceeded. Items of 40 lb (18kg) or less require one person for handling. Items of 40 to 70 lb (18 to 32kg)
require two people for handling. Any items greater than 70 lb (32kg) require at least two people or a power
lifting device.
To avoid personal injury, at least two people are required to install bulky items into equipment cabinets.
When operated into an antenna, this equipment may produce electromagnetic fields in close proximity to the
antenna that are in excess of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommended
maximum limits.
