Safety Precautions
Thunderstorms
Do not work with electrical current in elevated or
exposed locations during a thunderstorm.
Extreme weather conditions
The RTN 310 is usually installed outdoors. If weather
conditions are extreme during an installation, personnel
should follow local guidelines and regulations to
safeguard personal health and safety.
Microwave
High-power radio frequency signals are harmful.
Avoid exposure to transmissions from the antenna
of working microwave equipment that has this
radiation warning symbol ( ). If you install or
maintain an antenna on a tower or pole bearing
multiple antennas, avoid exposure to radiation from
the other antennas.
Moving and hoisting heavy objects
To move or hoist heavy objects, use appropriate
equipment and adhere to the following guidelines:
Working in high places
The RTN 310 is usually installed in an elevated location,
such as on a tower or on the roof of a building. Adhere
to these guidelines for installations in elevated locations:
Installation personnel must be properly trained and qualified, and meet health requirements.
Installation personnel should wear helmets and safety belts and should work in pairs or teams so
assistance is always available.
Do not work in high places during thunderstorms, blizzards, gales, or other extreme weather. When
working outdoors, installation personnel should wear
clothes and gloves appropriate to weather conditions,
and footwear that protects against slipping.
Hoisting tools should be tested before use.
All installation personnel and visitors onsite must wear helmets.
All personnel should wear helmets and
protective clothes, gloves, and shoes.
Move heavy objects along a flat obstacle-free
path.
Do not lift heavy objects by hand. Use
appropriate equipment instead.
When items are hoisted, be sure those standing
nearby are safe from falling objects.
Use hoisting tools properly. Do not exceed load
allowances to prevent damage to pulleys or
slings.
High temperature
If the ambient temperature reaches 55, the surface temperature of the RTN 310 and PI panel may exceed
70. Wear protective gloves if you must handle the RTN 310 or power injector (PI) panel. A high-
temperature warning label ( ) is attached to the
RTN 310 and PI panel.
Laser
Always wear protective glasses or goggles when you
look into an optical port.
Caps
Port protection
Protect unused ports with caps.

Safety Precautions
Corrosion
Anti-corrosion measures are required if the RTN 310 is installed in an area prone
to corrosion. Contact your Huawei representative office for details. A location is
corrosion-prone if it is:
within 3.7 km of the ocean or a salt water lake
within 3 km of a heavy pollution source such as a smelting factory or coal
mine
within 2 km of a medium pollution source such as a chemical, rubber, or
electroplating plant
within 1 km of a light pollution source such as a food/leather processing plant
or heating boilers
Power over Ethernet
If the RTN 310 uses power over Ethernet, connect the RJ45 connector that has a P&E
label on the P&E cable to the P&E port on the PI. No other cable is appropriate.
Always hold an insulated part of the P&E cable. Never touch the RJ45 connector.
Do not touch the pins inside the P&E port on the PI with your hands or a conductor.
Be sure to connect the power cables of the PI correctly to the positive and negative
terminals of the power supply device (see circled No.1 in the figure below). To prevent
damage to power cables or devices caused by short-circuits, install a circuit breaker on
the negative terminal of the power supply device (see circled No.2 in the figure below).
The recommended fuse capacity is 6 A to 12 A.
Do not install or remove a live P&E cable.
Power over Ethernet supplies power over a maximum distance of 100 m.

PWR
DC power
If the RTN 310 uses DC power, do not install or remove a live
power cable. Any contact between the power cable core and a
conductor can generate electric arc or sparks, which may cause
fire or eye injury.
Connect the power cables correctly to the positive and negative
terminals of the power supply device (see circled No.1 in the
figure below). To prevent damage to power cables or devices
caused by short-circuits, install a circuit breaker on the negative
terminal of the power supply device (see circled No.2 in the figure
below). The recommended fuse capacity is 6 A to 12 A.
DC supplies power over a maximum distance of 300 m.

1. Cover unused ports with caps.
2. Different methods can be used to change the polarization direction of antennas. If the method described in this document is not suitable for the type of antenna you have, use the method described in the installation manual delivered with your antennas.
3. The polarization direction of antennas is vertical by default. If the planned polarization direction is horizontal, change the polarization direction to horizontal.
4. If an antenna with a diameter of 0.3 m or 0.6 m is used in a direct mount and 1+0 scenario, you may install the RTN 310 on the antenna and then hoist them both into position on the tower. If an antenna with a diameter larger than 0.6 m is used, hoist the antenna into
position separately to avoid overloading the hoisting rope.
5. Before installing a P&E cable, bind the cable section that links the cable connector to the pole. This will protect the cable connector from damage. Be sure that the length of cable running from the binding point to the RTN 310 is sufficient to attach the cable connector
to the P&E port on the RTN 310. Treat outdoor fibers in a similar manner to protect them from damage.

1. Cover unused ports with caps.
2. Different methods can be used to change the polarization direction of antennas. If the method described in this document is not suitable for the type of antenna you have, use the method described in the installation manual delivered with your antennas.
3. The polarization direction of antennas is vertical by default. If the planned polarization direction is horizontal, change the polarization direction to horizontal.
4. If an antenna with a diameter of 0.3 m or 0.6 m is used in a direct mount and 1+0 scenario, you may install the RTN 310 on the antenna and then hoist them both into position on the tower. If an antenna with a diameter larger than 0.6 m is used, hoist the antenna into
position separately to avoid overloading the hoisting rope.
5. Before installing an 8-core P&E cable, bind the cable section linking the cable connector to the pole. This will protect the cable connector from damage. Be sure that the length of cable running from the binding point to the RTN 310 is sufficient to attach the cable
connector to the P&E port on the RTN 310.
Optional: Change the polarization direction of
the antenna to horizontal.
Follow the antenna use instructions to install
the antenna.
Optional: Change the polarization direction of
the RTN 310 to the same as that of the antenna.
