WARNING! Risk of eye damage caused by invisible laser beam.
Danger of eye damage caused by invisible laser beam!
Make sure that the laser beam is switched off when optical cables are installed.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
Before turning RF power on, RF ports should be terminated by nominal 50Ω load
(for example, feeder with antenna). However, if these conditions are not met,
the plastic caps that are delivered within the unused RF ports should remain in place.
The plastic caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide
electric shock security in case RF power is accidentally on.

CAUTION! Risk of personal injury.

Always stop transmission before detaching the optical fibre
from an optical fibre connector marked with a warning triangle.

NOTICE: Incorrect cables and seals may not provide secured weather protection.
In outdoor installations, use only tested IP65 class outdoor cables with seals
provided by NSN. This is also recommended for indoor installations.
NOTICE: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may damage the modules.
Wear an ESD wrist strap or use a corresponding method when handling the modules.
NOTICE: Installing and commissioning of BTS products must be performed by an expert
familiar with electronic devices, to avoid damage caused by improper handling.
NOTICE: Overbending the optical fibre cables damages the cables and can detach
or damage the connectors. Do not bend optical fibre cables to a radius
smaller than the minimum radius of 70 mm (2.8 inches).
NOTICE: The optical fibre connector is fragile. Handle it with care.
Always route the optical cables to the left from the connector.
Do not connect optical cables in a temperature lower than -20° C.
NOTICE: Optical fibres are sensitive. The presence of contaminants will lower
the mechanical strength of the optical fibre and may dampen the transmission of light
in the fibres. Clean all optical fibre connectors before installation
using an optical fibre connector cleaning kit.
