Preparing for configuration and alignment
Before proceeding with unit configuration and antenna alignment, perform the checks
described in this section.
Safety precautions during configuration and alignment
All national and local safety standards must be followed while configuring the units and
aligning the antennas.
Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units
start to radiate as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards
defined in Radiation hazard assessment on page 4-86, in particular the
minimum separation distances.
Observe the following guidelines:
o Never work in front of the antenna when the CMU is powered.
o Always power down the CMU before connecting or disconnecting the drop cable
from the CMU, RFU or LPU.
Regulatory compliance during configuration and alignment
When configuring the units and aligning the antennas, follow all applicable radio
regulations. For more information, refer to Electromagnetic compliance on page 4-82.
USA only: if the system designer has provided a list of channels to be barred for TDWR
radar avoidance, bar the affected channels during staging, before the units are allowed to
radiate on site, otherwise FCC rules will be infringed.
Selecting configuration options
Use the installation report to determine which configuration options are required. Refer to
Link planning on page 2-2.
