CAUTION
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than 13.8 V. This will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW) to
the antenna connector. This could damage the transceiver's
front end.
REPAIR NOTES
1. Make sure a problem is internal before disassembling
the transceiver.
2. DO NOT open the transceiver until the transceiver is
disconnected from its power source.
3. DO NOT force any of the variable components. Turn
them slowly and smoothly.
4. DO NOT short any circuits or electronic parts. An
insulated tuning tool MUST be used for all adjustments.
5. DO NOT keep power ON for a long time when the
transceiver is defective.
6. READ the instructions of test equipment thoroughly
before connecting equipment to the transceiver.
