Notice to California resident users
The product that comes with this manual is free from dangerous material such as lead
and cadmium as per RoHS order of EU.
The transceiver has no protection against lightning.
The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he uses the device at
home and installs the antenna outdoor. Be aware that any outdoor antenna creates a
direct path for lighting current (more than 10kA) to the transceiver. This path exists
whether the device is turned ON or OFF.
Any vehicle does not present a safe environment during lightning. This environment
becomes much moe dangerous if an outdoor antenna is installed on the car. Move the
antenna and its cable into the car at the first sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and
lightning.
