SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
1. INTRODUCTION
All operators and maintenance personnel must observe the following safety precautions during operation and
maintenance of this equipment. Specific warnings and cautions are provided in the manual and at the end of this
Safety Summary. Warnings, Cautions, and Notes appear before various steps in the manual and will be used as
follows:
WARNING Used when injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment is possible
CAUTION Used when there is a possibility of damage to equipment
NOTE Used to alert personnel to a condition that requires emphasis
2. PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY
Basic safety precautions consider factors involved in protecting personnel from injury or death. Electrical,
mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic radiation (EMR), or chemical hazards are the most common types of hazards
found in electronic equipment. The following are types of hazards that may exist:
ELECTRICAL Hazardous voltage and current levels may exist throughout the equipment. Contact
with these hazards could cause electrocution, electrical shock, burns, or injury due
to involuntary reflexes of the body.
THERMAL Burn hazards may exist in the equipment that could cause personal injuries and/or
serious equipment damage. Internal surfaces of the equipment may be in excess of
65C, the point at which personnel could be burned. Extreme caution should be used
when working with any hot assemblies (for example, power supply or power
amplifier assemblies). Physical injury or damage may result to personnel and/or
equipment as a result of a reflex action to a burn.
EMR Overexposure to electromagnetic radiation from amplified radio frequencies
may produce a health hazard.
3. OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Good safety discipline is critical to prevent injury to personnel. All other safety measures are useless if personnel
do not observe the safety precautions and do not follow safety disciplines. Once aware of a hazard, personnel should
ensure that all other personnel are aware of the hazard. The following basic safety disciplines are stressed:
a. Read a procedure entirely before performing it. Personnel must always perform each assigned task in a
safe manner.
b. Prior to applying equipment power after maintenance, personnel must ensure that all unsecured hand
tools and test equipment are disconnected from the serviced/maintained equipment and properly stored.
c. Power to the equipment must be removed before a piece of equipment is removed.
d. Extreme care must be used when adjusting or working on operating equipment. Voltages in excess of
70 V or current sources in excess of 25 A are covered with barriers. Barriers include warning
information about the hazard encountered upon barrier removal.
viii
RF-7800B
SAFETY SUMMARY
R
e. Personnel must react when someone is being electrically shocked. Perform the following steps:
1. Shut off power.
2. Call for help.
3. Administer first aid if qualified.
Under no circumstances should a person come directly in contact with the body unless the power has
been removed. When immediate removal of the power is not possible, personnel must use a non-con-
ductive material to try to jolt or pry the body away from the point of shock.
f. Personnel should work with one hand whenever possible to prevent electrical current from passing
through vital organs of the body. In addition, personnel must never work alone. Someone must be
available in the immediate area to render emergency first aid, if necessary.
g. Lifting can cause injury. Items weighing more than 37 pounds must be lifted by two or more people.
h. Some electrolytic capacitors contain aluminum oxide or tantalum. If connected incorrectly, the
capacitor will explode when power is applied. Extreme care must be used when replacing and
connecting these capacitors. The capacitor terminals must always be connected using the correct
polarity: positive to positive and negative to negative.
The next section contains general safety precautions not directly related to specific procedures or equipment. These
precautions are oriented toward the maintenance technician. However, all personnel must understand and apply
these precautions during the many phases of operation and maintenance of the equipment. The following
precautions must be observed:
DO NOT SERVICE EQUIPMENT ALONE
Never work on electrical equipment unless another person familiar with the operation and hazards of the
equipment is near. When the maintenance technician is aided by operators, ensure that operators are aware
of the hazards.
GROUNDING
Always ensure that all equipment and assemblies are properly grounded when operating or servicing.
TURN OFF POWER AND GROUND CAPACITORS
Whenever possible, power to equipment should be turned off before beginning work on the equipment. Be
sure to ground all capacitors that are potentially dangerous.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operators and maintainers must observe all safety regulations at all times. Do not change components or
make adjustments inside equipment with a high voltage supply on unless required by the procedure. Under
certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist in circuits with power controls off, due to charges
retained by capacitors.
DO NOT BYPASS INTERLOCKS
Do not bypass any interlocks unnecessarily. If it is necessary to employ an interlock bypass for equipment
servicing, use extreme care not to come in contact with hazardous voltages.
ix
RF-7800B

1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Harris RF-7800B Land Mobile and Land Portable BGAN Terminals provide a high-performance Satellite
Communications (SATCOM) solution with reliable voice and broadband data connectivity for Beyond-Line-of-
Sight (BLOS) SATCOM-on-the-Move (SOTM) and SATCOM-on-the-Quick-Halt (SOQH) applications. The
BGAN SATCOM spectrum (L-Band) utilizes the International Marine/Maritime Satellite (INMARSAT) 4
constellation, providing wideband Internet Protocol (IP) data throughput up to 492 kbps. These high data throughput
backbone links can interconnect warfighter tactical networks to Tactical Operation Centers (TOC) as well as beyond
line of sight vehicles or regional headquarters.
As a standalone device integrated into an existing network infrastructure, the BGAN terminals allow an Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN)-capable device to be plugged in for circuit switched mode use across the BGAN
network. This ISDN interface provides the ability to connect directly to the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) for telephony and data communications. This interface also provides the ability to connect Secure Terminal
Equipment (STE) directly to the BGAN terminal for secure telephone calls.

GENERAL INFORMATION
R
RF-7800B BGAN terminal products ensure a seamless tactical network-centric BLOS connectivity interface to
existing Falcon III tactical networks. When the AN/PRC-117G or RF-7800M-MP manpack radio is set up as a
BGAN gateway using a BGAN-enabled preset, the BGAN terminal provides BLOS range extension of data
networking capabilities through simultaneous operation with mobile wideband networked line-of-sight (LOS)
nodes. The Falcon III radios remote control the BGAN terminals to automatically create a connection to the
INMARSAT network, providing a fully integrated end-to-end IP data network for assured and secured
communications.
BGAN terminals can be configured and actively controlled via an embedded web-based interface. The web interface
is used to configure the BGAN terminal to meet system architecture requirements, including all IP networking
properties, automatic network connections, inactivity timers and ISDN properties. BGAN satellite connections can
be initiated and monitored through the web interface. Active connection status is provided on every page. Network
traffic usage is tracked in the amount of megabytes (Background Mode) and minutes (Streaming Mode), both on a
mission basis as well as through the BGAN terminal’s lifetime. Overall BGAN terminal status and version
information may be viewed through the web interface.
1.3.1 RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal
The Harris RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal is a Class 10 BGAN SOTM Terminal that provides
data rates of up to 492 kbps while on the move. See Figure 1-1. The BGAN terminal will send and receive IP packet
data via the Ethernet and Universal Serial Bus (USB) simultaneously with circuit switched telephony and data via
the ISDN interface over the INMARSAT BGAN satellite network.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.3.2 RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable BGAN Terminal
The RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable BGAN Terminal is a Class 2 BGAN Land Portable Terminal that provides
data rates of up to 432 kbps. See Figure 1-2. This BGAN terminal is designed for operation in harsh environmental
conditions. RF-7800B-DU024 is a manually pointed antenna system capable of rapid deployment for sending and
receiving data once pointed at the satellite.
1.3.3 USIM/SIM Card
A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) contains an identity that uniquely identifies a subscriber of the Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). It stores subscription and subscriber related information. The UMTS
SIM (USIM) card must be installed for any operation of a BGAN terminal except for emergency calling.
Access to the USIM, and therefore to the BGAN system, is restricted to an authorized user or number of users, using
the USIM Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is stored securely in the USIM. The user enters the PIN
using the embedded web-based interface or the Falcon III Manpack radio front panel.
The USIM personalization feature ensures that access to a BGAN terminal or other user equipment is restricted to
an authorized USIM. The USIM and the BGAN terminal share a code stored securely in the USIM and the BGAN
terminal. If a USIM fails to prove its knowledge of the code, it is denied access to the BGAN terminal. If the USIM
is not detected during operation, the BGAN terminal will deactivate any active Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts,
detach from the network, and enter a "NO SIM" operational mode. The BGAN terminal must be restarted to detect
a new or replaced USIM. Refer to Paragraph 2.4.
