DBS3900 WCDMA
2-5
General Operations
Before installing and maintaining the storage battery, ensure the following:
l Use special insulation tools.
l Use eye protection devices and operate with care.
l Wear rubber gloves and an apron in case of an electrolyte overflow.
l Always keep the battery upright when moving. Do not place the battery upside down or tilt
it.
Short-Circuit
DANGER
Short-circuit of the battery may cause injury. Although the voltage of a battery is low, high
transient current generated by short-circuit will release a surge of power.
Keep metal objects away from the battery to prevent short circuit. If they have to be used,
disconnect the battery in use before performing any other operation.
Harmful Gas
CAUTION
l Do not use unsealed lead-acid storage batteries, because the gas emitted from it may result

The lead-acid storage battery in use will emit flammable gas. Therefore, store it in a place with
good ventilation and take precautions against fire.
High Temperature
CAUTION
High temperature may result in distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow of the battery.
When the temperature of the battery exceeds 60
o
C, check whether there is acid overflow. If acid
overflow occurs, handle the acid immediately.
DBS3900 WCDMA
Issue 02 (2009-01-05)
Acid
CAUTION
If the acid overflows, it should be absorbed and neutralized immediately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. Use the
following materials to absorb and neutralize acid spills:
l Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO

l Replace the lithium battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
l Dispose of the used battery according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
l Do not dispose of the lithium battery in fire.
2.5 Radiation
Electromagnetic Field Exposure
CAUTION
High power radio-frequency signals are harmful to human body.
Before installing or maintaining an antenna on a steel tower or mast with a large number of
transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with all parties to ensure that the transmitter
antennas are shut down.
The base transceiver station (BTS) has RF radiation (radiation hazard). Suggestions for the
installation and operation of BTSs are given in the following section. Operators are also required
to comply with the related local regulations on erecting BTSs.
l The antenna should be located in an area that is inaccessible to the public where the RF
radiation exceeds the stipulated value.
DBS3900 WCDMA
2-7
l If the areas where RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value are accessible to workers,
ensure that workers know where these areas are. They can shut down the transmitters before
entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they exist, the areas must be within a
range of less than 10 m around the antennas.
l Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the
public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with
unaided eyes.
Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of
light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters
the eye, the retina may be damaged.
Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the
unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes
may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye
loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end.
Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
l Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot
ensure that the optical source is switched off.
l To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not
