Local Safety Regulations
When operating Huawei equipment, you must follow the local laws and regulations. The
safety instructions in this document are only supplements to the local laws and regulations.
General Requirements
To minimize risk of personal injury and damage to equipment, read and follow all the
precautions in this document before performing any installation or maintenance.
Ensure that the instructions provided in this document are followed completely. This section
also provides guidelines for selecting the measuring and testing devices.
Installation
The device (or system) must be installed in an access-controlled location.
Tighten the thumbscrews by using a tool after initial installation and subsequent access
to the panel.
Ground
Do not damage the ground conductor or operate the device in the absence of a properly
installed ground conductor. Conduct the electrical inspection carefully.
The device (or system) must be connected permanently to the protection ground before
an operation. The cross-sectional area of the protective ground conductor must be at least
16mm2.
The device must be fixed securely on the floor or other reliable objects, such as the walls
and the mounting racks before operation.
When installing the unit, always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last
Power Supply
For DC-supplied model: The device applies to DC power source that complies with the
Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950-1 based safety standards.
Prepared conductors are connected to the terminal block, and only the appropriate
AWG/Type of wire is secured with the lug terminals.
This device relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 80 VDC, 30A for DC supplied model
is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
For this device, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated external to
the equipment
To minimize the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line
cord.
Human Safety
Do not operate the device or cables during lightning strikes.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telecommunication network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Move or lift the chassis by holding its lower edge. Do not hold the handles on certain
modules such as power supply, fans, and boards because they cannot support the weight
of the device.
Do not look into the optical port without eye protection.
Do not wear jewelry or watches when you operate the device.
Reinforced insulation or double insulation must be provided to isolate DC source from
AC mains supply.
Operator
Only qualified professional personnel are allowed to install, configure, operate, and
disassemble the device.
Only the personnel authenticated or authorized by Huawei are allowed to replace or
change the device of the parts of the device (including the software).
Any fault or error that might cause safety problems must be reported immediately to a
supervisor.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to remove or disable the safety facilities and to
troubleshoot and maintain the device.
Ensure that the instructions provided in this document are followed completely. The
document also provides guidelines in selecting the measuring and testing device.

1.2.1 Electricity Safety
Thunderstorm
During thunderstorms, the electromagnetic field generated in the thunderstorm area may
damage the electronic parts. To prevent damage to the device during lightning, ground the
device properly.
High Electrical Leakage
If the "high electrical leakage" tag is present on the power terminal of the device, you must
ground the device before powering it on.

Fuse
If a fuse is to be replaced, the new fuse must be of the same type and specifications.
1.3 Electromagnetic Field Exposure
Introduction
The Base Transceiver Station (BTS) emits Radio Frequency (RF) radiation. Follow the local
safety regulations when installing and operating the BTS to avoid radiation hazard.
Guidelines on Limiting Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields
There are a number of international regulations, standards, and guidelines for exposure to
electromagnetic fields. Some European countries have adopted the recommendation of the
council of the European Union (1999/519/EC), released on July 12, 1999, focusing on the
hazards of exposure to electromagnetic fields. The recommendation is based on the guideline
published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Location of Base Station Antennas
Base station antennas, the source of the radiation, are usually mounted:
On freestanding towers, with a height up to 30 m
On a tower on the top of buildings
To the side of buildings, on rare occasions
Generally, the antenna cannot be located in a position lower than 10 m. The energy usually
forms a horizontal main beam and is slightly tilted downwards. The remaining energy forms
into weaker beams on both sides of the main beam. The main beam, however, does not reach
the ground if the antenna is around 50–200 m away from the ground.
The highest level of emission would be expected in close vicinity of the antenna and in line of
sight to the antenna.
Exclusion Zones
The requirements for exclusion zones are as follows:
The antenna should be properly located to prevent the public from accessing the area
where the RF radiation exceeds the previously mentioned limits.
If areas with excessive RF radiation are accessible to the operation and maintenance
(O&M) personnel, ensure that they know the source of radiation and can power off or
shut down the transmitters before entering high radiation areas. In addition, such areas
must be confined within a distance of 10 m from the antennas.

Each exclusion zone should be defined by a physical barrier and by a recognizable sign
warning the public or O&M personnel.
