Ericsson recommends to observe the following when working at height:

• Use appropriate safety equipment, such as helmet and harness.

• Optical cables are fragile so lift with care. Do not attach a pulling wiredirectly to the optical cable, rather attach the pulling wire to a loop anduse the loop to lift the cable.

• Use a cord to hang the front solar shield through the padlock hole and thetamper-proof cover.
