Safety
CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements have been strategically placed in the text to
alert personnel of possible hazards. These statements must be closely observed.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation and
service of the products covered in this manual. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual willfully violates standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the product. BridgeWave assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to
comply with these requirements.
• These BridgeWave radios meet all applicable FCC safety requirements for general
population exposure to radio frequency emissions; however, it is best to avoid prolonged,
unnecessary exposure to the front of the radio while it is operating.
• The outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.
For installations in the U.S.A., refer to Articles 810830 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for information with respect to proper grounding and applicable
lightning protection for DC cables. The installer must also follow any additional local
building and electrical code regulations.
For installations in all other countries, implement protection in accordance with the
safety standards and regulatory requirements of the country where the equipment is to be
installed.
• Do not install or operate this equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite
safety hazard.
• Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the
equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by BridgeWave can void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
