1. Safety - General precautions for installation procedures
The following general precautions must be observed for installation procedures.
WARNING
Personal injury hazard
Failure to observe these safety precautions may result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment, observe the following instructions:
• Read and understand all instructions.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this product.
• Installation and maintenance procedures must be followed and performed by trained personnel only.
• Never operate the equipment with grounding/bonding conductor disconnected. Grounding and circuit continuity is vital for safe
operation of the equipment.
• The equipment must be provided with a readily accessible disconnect device as part of site preparation.
• This equipment is intended for installation in restricted access locations where access is controlled or where access can only be
gained by service personnel.

1. Safety – Specific hazards
DANGER
Laser hazard
This equipment operates with invisible laser radiation. Laser radiation can cause considerable injuries to the eyes.
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or into an open optical connector when the optical source is switched on. Always
observe the laser warning instructions.
DANGER
Electric shock hazard
Working in severe weather can result in personal injury or death and damage to the equipment.
Never install or perform maintenance during severe weather (high winds, lightning, blizzards, hurricane etc.).
DANGER
Noxious-substance hazard
Use of unspecified cleaning agents can result in personal injury.
Use only specified cleaning agents. Never use flammable solvents.
Always ensure there is adequate ventilation in the work area and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment.
DANGER
Lightning strike hazard
Lightning strikes are possible during stormy weather, and could result in death or severe injury.
Do not work on the installation itself or on the power supply lines or antenna feeders of an antenna during stormy weather.

1. Safety – Specific hazards (continued)
WARNING
Electric shock hazard
Some parts of all electrical installations are energized. Failure to follow safe work practices and the safety warnings may lead to
bodily injury and property damage.
For this reason, only trained and qualified personnel (electrical workers as defined in IEC 60215 or EN 60215 + A1 or in the
National Electrical Code or in ANSI/NFPA No. 70) may install or service the installation.
CAUTION
Laser hazard
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure.
Do not view directly into the laser beam with optical instruments such as a fiber microscope because viewing of laser emission in
excess of Class 1 limits significantly increases the risk of eye damage.
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector as long as the optical source is switched on.
Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
CAUTION
RF hazard
RF exposure in excess of applicable limits can result in personal injury.
B41a RRH8x20s are designed and installed in order that they are compliant with the exposure guidelines laid down by 47 CFR
1.1307 to 1.1310.
For all staff that are required to work in close proximity to the equipment, for example maintenance personnel, contact with the
antenna should be avoided. No such persons shall stay in front of the operating product’s antenna at a distance of less than 2.25 m.
No other persons shall stay in front of the operating product’s antenna at a distance of less than 5 m.

1. Safety – Specific hazards (continued) & Product safety
CAUTION
Lifting hazard
Lifting this equipment by yourself can result in injury due to the size and weight of the equipment.
Always use at least two people or a lifting device to move or position this equipment.
NOTICE
Tools hazard
Tools left in the working area can cause short circuits during operation which can lead to the destruction of units.
Make sure after finishing your work that no tools, testing equipment, flashlights, etc., have been left in or on the equipment.
NOTICE
Corrosive-substance hazard
Cleaning plastic containers and lids with abrasive and aggressive cleaning agents may cause permanent damage.
Do not use solvents, paraffin, abrasive or aggressive cleaning fluids, abrasive or aggressive antiseptic agents or abrasive or
aggressive materials.
