Any changes and modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Airspan
Networks are not permitted and if done will result in voidance of warranty.
General
Installation, replacement and service should be performed by qualified personnel who
are familiar with local safety codes.
Do not mount external antennas in inclement weather (such as rain or lightning) that
may increase risk of electrocution.
CRM does not provide protection from hazard energy in case of single fault condition.
Power supply shall be limited up to 3A in normal and single fault condition.
