Safety & Warnings

The following precautions are recommended for personnel safety:

– DO NOT transmit if someone is within two feet (0.6 meter) of the antenna.
– DO NOT transmit until all RF connectors are verified secure and any open connectors are properly terminated.
– SHUT OFF and DO NOT operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
– All equipment should be properly grounded before power-up for safe operation.
– This equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician only.
– Be careful against electric hazard, for the commercial power supply is being applied to the internal circuitry of the radio even when the Power switch is OFF.
